It is the chest so precious, Where gems of truth are stored; It is the heaven-drawn picture Of Christ, the living Word. 3 It floats e'er like a banner Before God's host unfurled; It shines out like a beacon Above the darkening world. It is the chart and compass That o'er life's surging sea, 'Mid mists and rocks and quicksands, Still guides to Christ who saves. 4 O make your Church, dear Savior, A lamp of purest gold, To bear before the nations Your true light, as of old. O teach your wandering pilgrims By this their path to trace, Till, clouds and darkness ended, They see you face to face. Amen. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:23-25 Used With Tune: MUNICH
