Word of God, across the ages comes your message to our life: source of hope forever present in our toil and fears and strife; constant witness to God's mercy, still our grace whate'er befall; guide unfailing, strength eternal, offered freely to us all;

Verse 2

Story of the wondrous journey from the shadows of the night; garnered truth of sage and prophet guiding forward into light; words and deeds of Christ our Master, pointing to the life and way, still appealing, still inspiring, mid the struggles of today.

Verse 3

In the tongues of all the peoples may the message bless and heal as devout and patient scholars more and more its depths reveal. Bless, O God, to wise and simple All thy truth of ageless worth, till all lands receive the witness and your knowledge fills the earth.
