Lord we hear Your Word with gladness
You have spoken we rejoice
Words of love and life and freedom
Help us make their truth our choice
Now in holy celebration
For Your Word we worship You
Spoken written known in Jesus
Ours today to prove anew
May we hear with understanding
By Your Spirit taught and led
May the springs of all our being
By Your living Word be fed
May our hearts accept with meekness
All the grace Your light makes known
May obedience mark our footsteps
Till we make each word our own
You have spoken; Yours the fullness
Ours the wealth of this Your Word
Debtors then as living letters
We must make Your gospel heard
By Your Spirit's power transform us
Shed Your saving light abroad
Till our lives by love in action
Show our world the truth of God
