God's love is ever with us, Wherever we may go Its tender, sweet enfoldment Each moment we may know.
It heals the sense of sorrow, And takes away all sin—This loving, radiant presence Which ever dwells within.
And suffering in that presence Must always slip away, Like darkest hours of night-time Before the dawning day.
It glorifies all nature, Makes lovelier every flower, And still more wonderful the sky In sunset's glowing hour.
More fair to us our brother When seen through love's pure eyes, A son of God we know him, Apart from mortal guise.
Dear Love, keep us forever So closely by Thy side That we reflect the beauty of Christ, the glorified.
