O Word of God Incarnate
Author: William Walsham How Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 485 hymnals Scripture: 2 Peter 1:19-21 Lyrics: 1 O word of God incarnate,
O wisdom from on high,
O truth unchanged, unchanging,
O light of our dark sky:
we praise you for the radiance
that from the hallowed page,
a lantern to our footsteps,
shines on from age to age.
2 The church from you, dear Master,
received this gift divine;
and still that light is lifted
o'er all the earth to shine.
It is the chart and compass
that all life’s voyage through,
'mid mists and rocks and quicksands,
still guides, O Christ, to you.
3 O make your church, dear Savior,
a lamp of burnished gold
to bear before the nations
your true light, as of old.
O teach your trav'ling pilgrims
by this their path to trace
till, clouds and darkness ended,
we see you face to face.

Eye and heart long for your gladness!

Thou hast revealed Thy will to mortal men,
Speaking to saints, to prophets, kings and sages,

To sinful men Thy justice and Thy grace;
And questing hearts that long for peace and healing
See Thy compassion in the Savior's face.

To every land, to every race and clan;
And myriad tongues, in one great anthem blending,
Acclaim with joy Thy wondrous gift to man.

Our salvation near

Bid every string awake.

And nearer to our house above
We every moment come.

Stronger and brighter shine;
Nor present things, nor things to come,
Shall quench the spark divine.

Nor feel the heavenly flame,
Then is the time to trust our God,
And rest upon his name.

Subside at his control;
His loving-kindness shall break through
The midnight of the soul.

Who stays himself on thee;
Who waits for thy salvation, Lord,
Shall thy salvation see. Topics: Assurance Urged; Christians Encouragements; Comfort; Courage; Darkness Spiritual Used With Tune: ALEXANDER

Or, searching, find Thee out,
Who art within, a quickening Flame,
A Presence round about.

I ask not, Lord, for more;
Enough for me to know Thou art,
To love Thee and adore.

Is childlike faith to me,
That makes the darkest way I go
An open path to Thee.
