1
O Word of God incarnate, O Wisdom from on high, O Truth unchanged, unchanging, O Light of our dark sky,
2
The church from her dear Master Received the gift divine, And still that light she lifteth O'er all the earth to shine.
3
It floateth like a banner Before God's host unfurled; It shineth like a beacon Above the darkling world.
4
O make Thy church, dear Savior, A lamp of purest gold, To bear before the nations Thy true light as of old.
C

Chorus

We praise Thee for the radiance That from the hallowed page, A lantern to our footsteps, Shines on from age to age. It is the golden casket Where gems of truth are stored; It is the heaven-drawn picture Of Christ the living Word. 'Mid mists and rocks and quicksands, Still guides, O Christ, to Thee. Till, clouds and darkness ended, They see Thee face to face.
