God is Love.
Give praise unto the Lord above;
Omit no thanks that thou canst move.
Dost thou not know that God is love?
Omit no thanks that thou canst move.
Dost thou not know that God is love?
In Word and Deed make him thy aim,
So shall thy Soul be free from blame.
So shall thy Soul be free from blame.
Let his Commandments be in ure;
Obedience cannot be a clod:
Vs he hath spar'd, and doth endure
Ev'n still; such is the love of God.
