God is love by Eugene Franklin Marks — 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 waning never:
God is wisdom, God is love.

About God is love
Eugene Franklin Marks's setting of God is love for SATB choir opens with a gentle unfolding of the text's central message. The music reflects the text's assurance that God's love and wisdom are constant, even through life's changes and darkest hours. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic development, supporting the lyrical flow of the English words. The composer masterfully weaves the vocal lines together, creating a sense of comfort and steadfastness that mirrors the devotional nature of the anthem. This is a straightforward and heartfelt expression of a profound theological concept, suitable for congregational singing or as a reflective piece within a service.
