The Spirit breathes upon the Word,
And brings the truth to sight;
Precepts and promises afford
A sanctifying light.
A glory gilds the sacred page,
Majestic like the sun;
It gives a light to every age;
It gives, but borrows none.
W. Cowper
It speaks to every culture, race,
Far flung from pole to pole;
The Holy Spirit given place
Will unify the whole.
Our distant lineage may be
Of various tongue and dress;
Each bowing to God’s Word will see
Brings peace and not distress.
