67. Fountain of All Revelation

1 Fountain of all revelation,
grant us thy life-giving power;
without thee no sure salvation
will deliver us this hour.
May no veil of our tradition
mask the light that comes from thee!
Let not pride or low ambition
waste the strength that set us free.

2 God, our rock of revelation,
we would build our lives on thee,
for without thy sure foundation
none can find stability.
We will order not thy wisdom
to some cherished form or mold,
but will search for truths now hidden
as we live by those we hold.
