EN 5357 Church of the Living God

1Tim.3.15

Versi Version 1

1

Church of the living God,

Pillar and ground of truth,

Keep the old paths the fathers trod

In thy illumined youth.

2

Lo, in thy bosom lies

The touchstone for the age;

Seducing error shrinks and dies

At light from yonder page.

3

Woe to the hands that dare,

By lust of power enticed

To mingle with the doctrine there

The frauds of Antichrist.

4

Once to the saints was giv’n

All blessed Gospel lore;

There, written down in words from Heav’n,

Thou hast it evermore.

5

Fear not, though doubts abound,

And scoffing tongues deride;

Love of God’s Word finds surer ground

When to the utmost tried.

6

Toil at thy sacred text;

More fruitful grows the field;

Each generation to the next

Prepares a richer yield.

7

God’s Spirit in the Church,

Still lives unspent, untired,

Inspiring hearts that fain would search

The truths Himself inspired.

8

Move, Holy Ghost, with might

Amongst us as of old;

Dispel the falsehood, and unite

In true faith and true fold.
