Sweet message of the Holy Dove, In mercy brought us from above,— O haste, my soul, its peace to prove:— “God, the Eternal God, is love!” In Jesus, full of truth and grace,— Dear brightness of the Father’s face, Each radiant letter we can trace:— “God, the Eternal God, is love!” All other word is empty, vain; Naught else can heal the heart’s sore pain, And faith and hope revive again:— “God, the Eternal God, is love!” Through all life’s dangers, doubts and fears,— In all our trials, toils and tears, This promise spans the darkest years:— “God, the Eternal God, is love!” Blest tidings, borne by Holy Dove, Of welcome waiting us above,— Through endless ages there to prove— “God, the Eternal God, is love!”
