Author: Ferdinand Q. Blanchard Hymnal: Celebrating Grace Hymnal #34 (2010) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Word of God, across the ages
comes the message to our life;
source of hope forever present
in our toil and fears and strife;
constant witness to God's mercy,
still our grace whate'er befall,
guide unfailing, strength eternal,
offered freely to us all.
2 Story of the wondrous journey
from the shadows of the night;
garnered truth of sage and prophet,
guiding forward into light;
words and deeds of Christ our Master,
pointing to the life and way,
still appealing, still inspiring,
'mid the struggles of today.
3 In the tongues of all the peoples
may the messages bless and heal,
as devout and patient scholars
more and more in depths reveal.
Bless, O God, to wise and simple,
all the truth of ageless worth,
till all lands receive the witness
and Your knowledge fills the earth. Topics: God the Father Revealer; Bible; Guidance Languages: English Tune Title: AUSTRIAN HYMN
