O Word of God Above
VERSE 1
O Word
of God above,
Who
fillest all in all,
Hallow
this house with Thy sure love,
And
bless our festival.
VERSE 2
Here
from the font is poured
Grace on
each sinful child;
The
blest anointing of the Lord
Brightens
the once defiled.
VERSE 3
Here
Christ to faithful hearts
His body
gives for food;
The Lamb
of God Himself imparts
The
chalice of His blood.
VERSE 4
Here
guilty souls that pine
May
health and pardon win;
The
Judge acquits, and grace divine
Restores
the dead in sin.
VERSE 5
Yea, God
enthroned on high
Here
also dwells to bless;
Here
trains adoring souls that sigh
His
mansions to possess.
VERSE 6
Against
this holy home
Rude
tempests harmless beat,
And
Satan’s angels fiercely come
But to
endure defeat.
VERSE 7
All
might, all praise be Thine,
Father,
co-equal Son,
And
Spirit, Bond of love divine,
Where
endless ages run.
