Author: Margaret Clarkson, b. 1915 Hymnal: SNC #89 (2002) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Person Name: Margaret Clarkson, b. 1915 Lyrics: 1
Lord, we hear your word with gladness: you have
spoken—we rejoice:
words of love and life and freedom—help us make
their truth our choice!
Now in holy celebration for your Word we worship
you;
spoken, written, known in Jesus, ours today to
prove anew.
2
May we hear with understanding, by your Spirit
taught and led.
May the springs of all our being by your living Word
be fed.
May our hearts accept with meekness all the grace
your light makes known.
May obedience mark our footsteps till we make each
word our own.
3
You have spoken; yours the fullness, ours the
wealth of this your Word.
Debtors, then, as living letters we must make your
gospel heard!
By your Spirit’s power transform us; shed your
saving light abroad
till our lives by love in action show our world the
truth of God!
