God is Love (and the one who lives in love lives in God)

This is a simple hymn about the nature of God. The author, composer and tune-name are unknown.

It appears to be based in I John 4:16.   

There are references to it being used in children's Masses in the 1970s, and it was included in the 20th Century Folk Hymnal Volume 2 (1975/6, Mayhew McCrimmon Ltd, UK). No other publications, or on-line recordings, have been found.

It can have additional verses (God is hope, joy, peace, etc added as required).

Lyrics

God is love, and the one who lives in love lives in God, and God lives in her.
God is love, and the one who lives in love lives in God, and God lives in her.
And we have come to know and have believed, the love which God has for us.
God is love, and the one who lives in love lives in God, and God lives in her.

God is hope ...

God is peace ...

God is joy ...
