God is Love: let heav'n adore him
|
God is Love: let heav'n adore him; God is Love: let earth rejoice; Let creation sing before him, And exalt him with one voice. He who laid the earth's foundation, He who spread the heav' ns above, He who breathes through all creation, He is Love, eternal Love. God is love: and he enfoldeth All the world in one embrace; With unfailing grasp he holdeth Every child of every race. And when human hearts are breaking Under sorrow's iron rod, Then they find that selfsame aching Deep within the heart of God. God is Love: and though with blindness Sin afflicts the souls of men, God's eternal loving-kindness Holds and guides them even then. Sin and death and hell shall never O'er us final triumph gain; God is Love, so Love for ever O'er the universe must reign. |
Deus Amor: terra, gaude! Adorate, caelites! Una, creatura, laude, una voce celebres. Ille telluris fundator, caeli supra diditor, creatorum inspirator, sempiternus est Amor. Deus Amor: comprehendit unico ligamine mundum; fortiter defendit natos quoquo genere. Quotiens dolor sentitur nostro hic in animo, idem angor invenitur imo Dei gremio. Deus Amor: cum caecentur peccabundi homines, in via Dei tenentur bonitate sospites. Mors, scelus nec orcus umquam ditione nos premet; Deus Amor; ergo numquam mundum non Amor reget. |
