O God of light, Thy Word,
a lamp unfailing,
Shines through the darkness
of our earthly way,
O’er fear and doubt,
o’er black despair prevailing,
Guiding our steps to Thine eternal day.
From days of old,
through swiftly rolling ages,
Thou hast revealed
Thy will to mortal men,
Speaking to saints,
to prophets, kings, and sages,
Who wrote the message
with immortal pen.
Undimmed by time,
the Word is still revealing
To sinful men
Thy justice and Thy grace;
And questing hearts
that long for peace and healing
See Thy compassion
in the Savior’s face.
To all the world the message
Thou art sending,
To every land, to every race and clan;
And myriad tongues,
in one great anthem blending,
Acclaim with joy
Thy wondrous gift to man.
