O Holy Word
Author: M. E. Servoss Hymnal: Alexander's Hymns No. 3 #169 (1915) First Line: O Holy Word, with reverent hands Lyrics: 1 O Holy Word, with reverent hands,
I turn thy sacred pages o’er;
Thy truths to search as God commands,
‘Mid all thy vast unfathomed store.
2 O Holy Word of love divine,
Thy light shall guide me in the way;
And thro’ life’s darkest night shall shine,
To lead me into perfect day.
3 Dear messenger of wondrous grace,
Thy precepts in my heart I hide;
The law of love in thee I trace,
And in Thy promises confide.
4 When pain and sorrow linger near,
Thou tellest of a Saviour’s care;
Thou hast a balm for ev’ry fear,
A hope for ev’ry earnest pray’r.
5 One page alone is more to me,
Than all of human life beside;
For there I learn, to set me free,
A Saviour in my stead hath died. Languages: English Tune Title: [O Holy Word, with reverent hands]
