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
