O
Word of God Incarnate
Do you want to know the truth where there is no doubt of
proof? Where wisdom abounds and guidance is always there? The word of God is the
only book based on true facts and “all scripture is given by inspiration of
God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness,” 2 Timothy 3:13 (NKJ). It is a gift for the
church to help us grow in our relationship with Jesus Christ and each other.
Lyrics by William W. How, arranged by Felix Mendelssohn.
Bartholdy
“O Word of God incarnate, O wisdom from on high, o Truth
unchanged, unchanging, O light of our dark sky; We praise Thee for the radiance
that from the hallowed page, a lantern to our footsteps, shines on from age to
age.
The church from her dear Master received the gift divine
and still that light she lifted O’er all the earth to shine, it is the golden
casket, where gems of truth are stored; It is the heaven-drawn picture of
Christ, the living Word.
It floats like a banner before God’s host unfurled; It
shines like a beacon above the darkening world, it is the chart and compass
that over life’s surging sea, mid mists and rocks and quicksand, still guide, O
Christ, to Thee.
O make Thy church, dear Savior, a lamp of purest gold, to
bear before the nations Thy true light, as of old. O teach thy wandering
pilgrims by this their path to trace, till, clouds and darkness ended, they see
Thee face to face. Amen.”
