Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #381 (2013) Meter: 9.8.9.8.9.8 Lyrics: 1 God in his wisdom, for our learning,
gave his inspired and holy word:
promise of Christ, for our discerning,
by which our souls are moved and stirred,
finding our hearts within us burning
when, as of old, his voice is heard.
2 Symbol and story, song and saying,
life-bearing truths for heart and mind,
God in his sovereign grace displaying
tenderest care for humankind,
Jesus our Lord this love portraying,
open our eyes to seek and find.
3 Come then with prayer and contemplation,
see how in Scripture Christ is known;
wonder anew at such salvation
here in these sacred pages shown;
lift every heart in adoration,
children of God by grace alone! Topics: Adoration; Other Saints and Festivals Mark the Evangelist; Other Saints and Festivals Bible Sunday; Scripture; The Word of God; Wisdom Scripture: Psalm 119:18 Languages: English Tune Title: FRAGRANCE
