O God of light Your Word a lamp unfailing
Shall pierce the darkness of our earthbound way
And show your grace Your plan for us unveiling
And guide our footsteps to the perfect day.

From days of old through blind and willful ages
Though we rebelled You gently sought again
And spoke through saints apostles prophets sages
Who wrote with eager or reluctant pen.

Undimmed by time those words are still revealing
To sinful hearts Your justice and Your grace;
And questing mortals longing for Your healing
See Your compassion in the Savior s face.

To all the world Your summons You are sending
Through all the earth to every land and race
That myriad tongues in one great anthem blending
May praise and celebrate Your gift of grace.
