O living Word of God,
God’s image true,
Thou art the content
of God’s written word;
God in Thee we have met,
God’s fulness found,
And in the Scripture
we Thyself have heard.
No man has e’er seen God,
apart from Thee,
Without the Scripture
Thee we’d hardly see;
Thou to the human race
God hast declared,
And thru the Scripture
Thou art shown to me.
Perfect embodiment
Thou art of God,
A portrait full
the Scripture gives of Thee;
In Thee we comprehend
God’s image true,
And thru the Scripture
Thou art real to me.
Life-giving Spirit Thou,
as well as Word,
Now e’en the Spirit in
the Word Thou art;
When thru the Spirit giv’n,
I touch the Word,
Fulness divine to me
Thou dost impart.
In Thee I may with God
have fellowship,
And thru the Scripture
I on Thee may feed;
Thru study of the Word
with prayer to God
Thy glorious riches
fully meet my need.
Teach me to exercise
my spirit, Lord,
Thy Word to study,
so to contact Thee,
That Thou, the living Word,
with Scripture, too,
As one my daily manna
e’er may be.
