For man’s unceasing quest for God,
For God’s unceasing quest for man,
For records of His love and power
Surrounding life since life began,
We thank Thee Lord, most high.
For those great laws of long ago
Who wisdom still the nations own,
For early records wise men wrought,
Engraved on parchment, skin or stone,
We thank Thee Lord, most high.
For those old songs of tuneful verse,
The music of the shepherd-king,
For songs the boy of Nazareth sang,
And still succeeding ages sing,
We thank Thee Lord, most high.
For those most precious books of all,
that show us Jesus Christ, our Lord,
Seen through the eyes of faithful friends,
Who gave their lives to spread His word,
We thank Thee Lord, most high.
That still Thou speakest with mankind,
O friend of man, O Word of God,
That every place is holy ground,
Where’er on earth man’s foot hath trod,
We thank Thee Lord, most high.
