strong Lord of heaven and earth,
whose mighty voice rang out,
and light and life had birth,
one Source alone our being knows-
from you our soul and substance flows.
2 O sovereign Word of power,
O all-creating might,
invade our inmost souls,
transform our nature's night,
till all we are and all we do
affirms our Saviour's claims are true.
3 O holy Word of truth,
all wisdom's crown and sum,
to you with all our guests,
our hopes, our fears, we come;
in you alone true answer find,
and rest of soul and peace of mind.
4 O matchless Word of love
who sought us when we strayed,
in whom we called our God
our Father, undismayed,
where sin and woe despoil their prey,
make us your word of love today!
5 O Lord of life and power,
O God of love and truth,
to you we bring our hearts,
our freedom, strength and youth,
your life to know, your will to do,
to serve your world for love of you! Scripture: John 1:5 Used With Tune: CROFT'S 136TH
