Lyrics

God is Love, the Sun, dis­pell­ing
Darkness, doubt; how fast they flee!
Beam of glo­ry, ter­ror quell­ing,
Fall, fall on me.

Refrain

Fall on me, fall on me,
Beam of glo­ry, fall on me.

God is Love and Law un­it­ed,
Mercy joined to just de­gree,
Mercy, tho’ His law I’ve slight­ed,
Fall, fall on me.

Refrain

God is Love, to an­swer ang­uish,
Ah! His face I fain would see;
Eye of pi­ty, as I lang­uish,
Fall, fall on me.

Refrain

God is Love and Life un­end­ing,
Was, and is, and e’er shall be;
Softly may His peace, de­scend­ing,
Fall, fall on me.
