O Word of God Incarnate
Author: Bp. W. Walsham How, 1823-1897 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #188 (1917) Topics: The Godhead 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 Thee for the radiance
That from the hallowed page,
A lantern to our footsteps,
Shines on from age to age.
2 The Church from her dear Master
Received the gift divine,
And still that light she lifteth
O'er all the earth to shine.
It is the golden casket,
Where gems of truth are stored;
It is the heaven-drawn picture
Of Christ the living Word.
3 It floateth like a banner
Before God's host unfurled;
It shineth like a beacon
Above the darkling world;
It is the chart and compass
That o'er life's surging sea,
'Mid mists and rocks and quicksands,
Still guide, O Christ, to Thee.
4 O make Thy Church, dear Saviour,
A lamp of burnished gold
To bear before the nations
Thy sure light as of old;
O teach Thy wandering pilgrims
By this their path to trace,
Till, clouds and darkness ended,
They see Thee face to face. Languages: English Tune Title: LANCASHIRE
O Word of God Incarnate
How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord
Author: Authorship doubtful Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #190a (1917) Topics: The Godhead Holy Scripture Lyrics: 1 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!
What more can He say, than to you He hath said,
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
2 "Fear not, I am with thee; O be not dismayed!
For I am thy God, I will still give thee aid;
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My gracious, omnipotent hand.
3 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
For I will be with thee thy trials to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
4 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
5 "E'en down to old age all My people shall prove
My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love;
And when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn,
Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne.
6 "The soul that on Jesus doth lean for repose,
I will not--I will not desert to his foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavour to shake,
I'll never, no, never, no, never forsake!" Languages: English Tune Title: KIRBY

O God of Light, Thy Word, a Lamp Unfailing
Author: Sarah E. Taylor Hymnal: The Hymnbook #247 (1955) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Scriptures, The Holy Lyrics: 1 O God of Light, Thy Word, a lamp unfailing,
Shines through the darkness of our earthly way,
O'er fear and doubt, o'er black despair prevailing,
Guiding our steps to Thine eternal day.
2 From days of old, through swiftly rolling ages,
Thou hast revealed Thy will to mortal men,
Speaking to saints, to prophets, kings, and sages,
Who wrote the message with immortal pen.
3 Undimmed by time, the Word is still revealing
To sinful men Thy justice and Thy grace;
And questing hearts that long for peace and healing
See Thy compassion in the Saviour's face.
4 To all the world the message Thou art sending,
To every land, to every race and clan;
And myriad tongues, in one great anthem blending,
Acclaim with joy Thy wondrous gift to man.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 119:105 Tune Title: CHARTERHOUSE

And nights and days, Thy power confess;
But the blest Volume Thou hast writ
Reveals Thy justice and Thy grace.

Round the whole earth, and never stand;
So when Thy truth began its race,
It touched and glanced on every land.

Till through the world Thy truth has run;
Till Christ has all the nations blest
That see the light, or feel the sun.
