O Word of God Incarnate

Author: William W. How, 1823-1897 Hymnal: H4Y1966 #50 (1966) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D 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.

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 guides, O Christ, to thee. 4. O make thy Church, dear Saviour, A lamp of burnished gold, To bear among the nations Thy true 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: MUNICH
