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.
