Ralph Vaughan Williams - Sussex - текст песни (слова)

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. 
3. 
 
 
 
E'en the hour that darkest seemeth 
Will His changeless goodness prove; 
From the mist His brightness streameth: 
God is wisdom, God is love. 
4. 
 
 
 
He with earthly cares entwineth 
Hope and comfort from above; 
Everywhere His glory shineth: 
God is wisdom, God is love. 
Lyrics: John Bow­ring, Hymns, 1825.
