To God Who Gave the Scriptures

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #508 (1995) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: The Scriptures; Scriptures Lyrics: 1 To God who gave the scriptures we bring our thanks today for light upon life's journey, a lamp to lead the way; a sword to face the tempter, a seed of life divine, a glimpse of heaven's glory upon our souls to shine. 2 To God who gave the scriptures we sing salvation songs, for laws of truth and judgment to right our human wrongs; a word to stand forever, which faith and light impart, a fire of love unchanging to burn within our hearts. 3 To God who gave the scriptures we come with love and praise for all the gospel stories of Galilean days, the words of grace and mercy, the cross and all its pains as now in risen splendor the King of glory reigns. 4 To God who gave the scriptures we turn in faith to find a taste of honeyed sweetness to nourish heart and mind; the promise of salvation, the covenant restored, the apostolic witness that Jesus is the Lord. 5 To God who gave the scriptures we lift our souls in prayer, for eyes the Spirit opens to find the treasures there; that as we read and ponder one voice alone is heard, the Christ of all the scriptures, the true and living Word.

God's vital, urgent word, as true as steel, and far more sharp than any sword: So deep and fine, at his control they pierce where soul and spirit join. 2 They test each human thought, refining like a fire; they measure what we ought to do and to desire: For God know all — exposed it lies before his eyes to whom we call. 3 Let those who hear his voice confronting them today, reject the tempting choice of doubting or delay: For God speaks still — his word is clear, so let us hear and do his will!
