God is love by L.O. Emerson — Lyrics
1 God is Love; His mercy brightens
All the path in which we rove;
Bliss He wakes and woe He lightens:
God is wisdom, God is love.
2 Chance and change are busy ever;
Man decays, and ages move;
But His mercy waneth never:
God is wisdom, God is love.

About God is love
Luther Orlando Emerson's anthem God Is Love is a setting of an English text that extols the constancy of divine affection. The four-part SATB choir will find ample opportunity to express the assurances of faith offered in the lyrics. Verses speak of God's enduring mercy which 'brightens all the path in which we rove', 'waneth never' and 'proves' good even in the darkest hour. The composer emphasizes that this unchanging love provides hope and comfort, shining its glory everywhere. The text asserts that God's wisdom and love are one, a foundational truth for the Christian faith.
