An open Bible for the world
May this our glorious motto be!
On every breeze its flag unfurled
Shall scatter blessings rich and free
Blest Word of God!
send forth thy light
O'er ev'ry land and ev'ry sea
Till all who wander in the night
Are led to God and heaven by thee
Where'er it goes, its golden light
Streaming as from an unveiled sun
Shall dissipate the clouds of night
Undo the work that sin has done
| |
It shows to men the Father's face
All radiant with forgiving love
And to the lost of Adam's race
Proclaims sweet mercy from above
It offers rest to weary hearts
It comforts those who sit in tears
To all who faint, it strength imparts
And gilds with hope th'eternal years
