| Tune: | [God's word is our great heritage] |
| Composer: | Martin Luther |
God’s word is our great heritage,
And shall be ours forever;
To spread its light from age to age
Shall be our chief endeavor;
Through life it guides our way,
In death it is our stay;
Lord grant, while words endure,
We keep its teachings pure
Throughout all generations.
