Author: Henry M. King, D. D. Hymnal: Christ in Song #482 (1908) First Line: An open Bible for the world! Refrain First Line: Blest word of God! send forth thy light Lyrics: 1 An open Bible for the world!
May this our glorious motto be!
On ev'ry breeze the truth unfurled
Shall scatter blessings rich and free.
Chorus:
Blest word of God! send forth thy light
O'er ev'ry land and ev'ry sea,
Till all who wander in the night
Are led to God and heav'n by thee.
2 Where'er it goes its golden light,
Streaming as from unveiled sun,
Shall dissipate the clouds of night,
Undo the work that sin has done. [Chorus]
3 It shows to men the Father's face,
All radiant with forgiving love;
And to the lost of Adam's race,
Proclaims sweet mercy from above. [Chorus]
4 It tells of Jesus and his death,
Of life procured for dying men;
And to each soul of humble faith,
Gives sonship with the Lord again. [Chorus]
5 It offers rest to weary hearts;
It comforts those who sit in tears;
To all who faint it strength imparts;
And gilds with hope th' eternal years. [Chorus] Topics: God God's Word; Christ Pilgrimage; God God's Word; God God's Word; God God's Word Languages: English Tune Title: [An open Bible for the world!]
