Word of God, O sac­red trea­sure!
Sage and shep­herd, king and priest,
Moved by God’s own Ho­ly Spir­it,
Brought to men thy won­drous feast.

Refrain

Word of God, Word of God,
Heaven’s light ab­ides in thee;
Through sin’s dark­ness all abroad,
Word of God, shine glo­ri­ous­ly,
Word of God, shine glo­ri­ous­ly.

Folded in thy sac­red pag­es,
Where the eyes of men may see,
Is the wis­dom of the ag­es
Given for our li­ber­ty.

Refrain

Word of God, thy theme is Je­sus,
Jesus and His dy­ing love,
How from sin He ful­ly frees us,
How He points to realms ab­ove.

Refrain

Word of God, thy op­en pag­es
Call to ser­vice, ban­ish fear;
None can idle be, or list­less,
If thy great com­mands they hear.
