GOD IS LOVE

 

                GOD IS LOVE

            The attributes of God are uncountable. We mention only a few of them like love, justice, mercy, wisdom, goodness, greatness, patience, tolerance, kindness, forgiveness, etc.  

            To praise God for his boundless love and other attributes is a spiritual pleasure. All psalms, hymns and prayers praise God for His  innumerable gifts to mankind.

            Given below is a famous poem entitled God Is Love. It is written by the British political economist, writer and literary translator Sir John Bowring (1792-1872).

“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.  

 

Chance and change are busy ever;

Man decays, and ages move;

But his mercy waneth never;

God is wisdom, God is love.

 

E’en the hour that darkest seemeth,

Will his changeless goodness prove;

From the gloom his brightness streameth,

God is wisdom, God is love.

 

He with earthly cares entwineth

Hope and comfort from above;

Everywhere his glory shineth;

God is wisdom, God is love.
