Church of the Living God
Author: Arthur James Mason, 1851-1928 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #301 (2010) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Publication Date: 2010 Lyrics: 1 Church of the living God,
pillar and ground of truth,
keep the old paths the fathers trod
in thy illumined youth.
2 Lo, in thy bosom lies
the touchstone for the age;
seducing error shrinks and dies
at light from yonder page.
3 Woe to the hands that dare,
by lust of power enticed,
to mingle with the doctrine there
the frauds of Antichrist.
4 Once to the saints was given
all blessèd gospel lore;
there, written down in words from heaven,
thou hast it evermore.
5 Fear not, though doubts abound,
and scoffing tongues deride;
love of God’s word finds surer ground
when to the utmost tried.
6 Toil at thy sacred text;
more fruitful grows the field;
each generation to the next
prepares a richer yield.
7 God’s Spirit in the church,
still lives unspent, untired,
inspiring hearts that fain would search
the truths Himself inspired.
8 Move, Holy Ghost, with might
amongst us as of old;
dispel the falsehood, and unite
in true faith and true fold. Topics: General Hymns Church/Fellowship/Mission Languages: English Tune Title: DOMINICA
