1 God, who in various methods told
His mind and will to saints of old,
Sent down his son with truth and grace,
To teach us in these latter days.
2 Our nation reads the written word,
That book of life, that sure record;
The bright inheritance of heav'n
Is by this sure conveyance giv'n.
3 God's kindest thoughts are here exprest,
Able to make us wise and blest;
The doctrines are divinely true,
Fit for reproof and comfort too.
4 O render thanks to God above,
For his rich grace, his boundless love;
Let all mankind receive his word
And ev'ry nation praise the Lord.
