| 1 | O living Word of God, God’s image true, |
| | Thou art the content of God’s written word; |
| | God in Thee we have met, God’s fulness found, |
| | And in the Scripture we Thyself have heard. |
| 2 | No man has e’er seen God, apart from Thee, |
| | Without the Scripture Thee we’d hardly see; |
| | Thou to the human race God hast declared, |
| | And thru the Scripture Thou art shown to me. |
| 3 | Perfect embodiment Thou art of God, |
| | A portrait full the Scripture gives of Thee; |
| | In Thee we comprehend God’s image true, |
| | And thru the Scripture Thou art real to me. |
| 4 | Life-giving Spirit Thou, as well as Word, |
| | Now e’en the Spirit in the Word Thou art; |
| | When thru the Spirit giv’n, I touch the Word, |
| | Fulness divine to me Thou dost impart. |
| 5 | In Thee I may with God have fellowship, |
| | And thru the Scripture I on Thee may feed; |
| | Thru study of the Word with prayer to God |
| | Thy glorious riches fully meet my need. |
| 6 | Teach me to exercise my spirit, Lord, |
| | Thy Word to study, so to contact Thee, |
| | That Thou, the living Word, with Scripture, too, |
| | As one my daily manna e’er may be. |
