Our Hymn for July 2025 is God is Love

God is love: let heaven 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 heavens above,
He who breathes through all creation:
God is love, eternal love.

God is love, and is enfolding
All the world in one embrace;
With unfailing grasp is holding
Every child of every race.
And when human hearts are breaking
Under sorrow’s iron rod,
Then they find that self-same aching
Deep within the heart of God.

God is love: and though with blindness
Sin afflicts the souls of all,
God’s eternal loving-kindness
Holds and guides us when we fall.
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.
