Revealing Word, thy light portrays
The work of God through endless days;
We view His wisdom, power, and love,
That show the form of things above:
How splendid are the plans divine
Which through thy sacred pages shine!
Inspiring Word, thy truth imparts
Triumphant hope to human hearts;
Through thee, enslaved
men find release,
Earth’s burdened ones
find welcome peace:
What deeps the sons of God discern
When from thy sacred page they learn!
Enduring Word, thy strength abides
Like mountains firm, and ocean tides;
Man’s feeble works grow old with time,
But thou art ageless and sublime:
What lasting splendor crowns the page
Where-in God writes our heritage!
