Representative Text

1 Oh do not bar your mind
Against the light of good;
But open wide, let in the Word,
And truth will be your food.

2 It will from error free
Your long enslavèd mind
And bring the light of liberty
Where it shall be enshrined.

3 Hid treasures it reveals
To all who know its power;
And all who will may light receive,
In this most gracious hour.

4 Then open wide your heart
To truth and light and love;
You then shall know your life is hid
With Christ in God above.
