Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Hymnal: Christian Worship #636 (2021) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 2:13 Lyrics: 1 Faith and truth and life bestowing,
open now the Scriptures, Lord,
seed to life eternal sowing,
scattered on the wind abroad.
Let not hearts, your Word receiving,
like a barren field be found,
choked with thorns and unbelieving,
shallow earth or stony ground.
2 May the Spirit's pow'r unceasing
bring to life the hidden grain,
daily in our hearts increasing,
bearing fruit that shall remain.
So in Scripture, song, and story,
Savior, may your voice be heard.
Till our eyes behold your glory
give us ears to hear your Word. Topics: Word of God Languages: English Tune Title: BLAENHAFREN
