1 Word of God, across the ages
Comes the 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.
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 Maser,
Pointing to the life and way,
Still appealing, still inspiring,
'Mid the struggles of today.
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 the truth of ageless worth,
Till all lands receive the witness
Ad Your knowledge fills the earth.
