<p>O Word of God incarnate, O Wisdom from on high,<br>
O Truth unchanged, unchanging, O Light of our dark sky:<br>
We praise You for the radiance that from the hallowed page,<br>
A Lantern to our footsteps, shines on from age to age.</p>
<p>The Church from You, our Savior, received the Gift divine,<br>
And still that Light is lifted over all the earth to shine.<br>
It is the sacred Vessel where gems of truth are stored;<br>
It is the heaven drawn Picture of Christ, the living Word.</p>
<p>The Scripture is a banner before God&#8217;s host unfurled;<br>
It is a shining Beacon above the darkling world.<br>
It is the Chart and Compass that over life&#8217;s surging tide,<br>
Mid mists and rocks and quicksands, to You, O Christ, will guide.</p>
<p>O make your Church, dear Savior, a lamp of purest gold,<br>
To bear before the nations Your true light as of old.<br>
O teach your wandering pilgrims by this their path to trace,<br>
Till, clouds and darkness ended, they see You face to face.</p>
