Blessed words of truth and beauty
In the word of God we read,
Blessed words! hallowed words!
How they strengthen us for duty,
Comfort us in time of need,
Blessed words! hallowed words!
Words of holy inspiration,
Hope and cheer and consolation,
Tidings of a free salvation,
Blessed words! hallowed words!
Words that tell the gospel story
Of our Saviour's life and love,
Blessed words! hallowed words!
Oh, the visions of his glory
In the temple built above!
Blessed words! hallowed words!
Wondrous love these words are telling,
Love all mortal thought excelling,
Praise within our souls is swelling,
Blessed words! hallowed words!
By his power the Lord hath kept them
Through the ages long and dim,
Blessed words! hallowed words!
Shall we not with joy accept them,
Let them lead us on to him?
Blessed words! hallowed words!
Till we come, redeemed, forgiven,
Every earthly fetter riven,
Happy entrance into heaven,
Blessed words! hallowed words!
