God Loveth Us

God loveth us! in pain or bliss,
O heart, be true and strong!
God loveth us, and knowing this
We know life’s sweetest song.

God loveth us! O eyes that find
Life’s lesson hard to read,
By tears of loss made dim and blind
Learn His great love instead.

God loveth us! O hands that grasp
At human tenderness,
And then in emptiness unclasp,
He waits to fill and bless.

God loveth us! O weary feet
That find life’s pathway long,
His love provides a rest so sweet
The hope of it makes strong.

God loveth us! O hearts that ache
With striving all in vain,
His tender hand is reached to take
The bitterness and pain.

God loveth us! O fallen one
Creep upward to the light,
God’s radiant stars shine on and on,
Until the dawn grows bright.

God loveth us! in pain or bliss,
O heart be true and strong,
God loveth us! and knowing this,
We know life’s sweetest song.
