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

Chorus
Ancient words ever true
Changing me and 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 words impart

(Repeat Chorus)
