O Word of God Incarnate

Author: William W. How Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 501 hymnals Topics: The Book of the Church : Holy Scripture Lyrics: 1. O Word of God incarnate, O Wisdom from on high, O Truth unchanged, unchanging, O Light of our dark sky: we praise you for the radiance that from the hallowed page, a lantern to our footsteps, shines on from age to age. 2. The church from you, our Savior, received the gift divine, and still that light is lifted o'er all the earth to shine. It is the sacred vessel where gems of truth are stored; it is the heaven-drawn picture of Christ, the living Word. 3. The Scripture is a banner before God's host unfurled; it is a shining beacon above the darkling world. It is the chart and compass that o'er life's surging tide, mid mists and rocks and quicksands, to you, O Christ, will guide. 4. O make your church, dear Savior, a lamp of purest gold, to bear before the nations your true light as of old. O teach your wandering pilgrims by this their path to trace, till, clouds and darkness ended, they see you face to face. Used With Tune: MUNICH

How Sure the Scriptures Are!

Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Holy Scriptures First Line: How sure the Scriptures are Lyrics: 1 How sure the Scriptures are! God's vital, urgent word, as true as steel, and far more sharp than any sword: so deep and fine, at his control they pierce where soul and spirit join. 2 They test each human thought, refining like a fire; they measure what we ought to do and to desire: For God know all--exposed it lies before his eyes to whom we call. 3 Let those who hear his voice confronting them today, reject the tempting choice of doubting or delay: For God speaks still--his word is clear, so let us hear and do his will! Scripture: Psalm 119:89 Used With Tune: DARWALL

Deep in the Shadows of the Past

Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: The Community of Faith The Book of the Church: Holy Scripture Lyrics: 1 Deep in the shadows of the past, far out from settled lands, some nomads traveled with their God across the desert sands. The dawning hope of humankind by them was sensed and shown; a promise calling them ahead, a future yet unknown. 2 While others bowed to changeless gods they met a mystery, invisible, without a name: "I AM WHAT I WILL BE"; and by their tents, around their fires, in story, song and law, they praised, remembered, handed on a past that promised more. 3 From Exodus to Pentecost the promise changed and grew, while some, remembering the past, recorded what they knew, or with their letters and laments, their prophecy and praise recovered, kindled and expressed new hope for changing days. 4 For all the writings that survived, for leaders, long ago, who sifted, copied and preserved the Bible that we know, give thanks, and find its story yet our promise, strength and call, the model of emerging faith, alive with hope for all.
