HOLY WORDS LONG PRESERVED

Holy words long preserved for our walk in this world;

they resound with God's own heart,

O, let the ancient words impart;

words of life, words of hope,

give us strength, help us cope;

in this world where'er we roam,

ancient words will guide us home.




Ancient words, ever true,

changing me, changing you;

we have come with open hearts,

O, let the ancient words impart.




Holy words of our faith handed down to this age,

came to us through sacrifice;

O, heed the faithful words of Christ;

holy words long preserved

for our walk in this world;

they resound with God's own heart;

O, let the ancient words impart
