EN 79 O Word of God Above
Gen.28.17
Versi Version 1
1
O Word of God above,
Who fillest all in all,
Hallow this house with Thy sure love,
And bless our festival.
2
Here from the font is poured
Grace on each sinful child;
The blest anointing of the Lord
Brightens the once defiled.
3
Here Christ to faithful hearts
His body gives for food;
The Lamb of God Himself imparts
The chalice of His blood.
4
Here guilty souls that pine
May health and pardon win;
The Judge acquits, and grace divine
Restores the dead in sin.
5
Yea, God enthroned on high
Here also dwells to bless;
Here trains adoring souls that sigh
His mansions to possess.
6
Against this holy home
Rude tempests harmless beat,
And Satan’s angels fiercely come
But to endure defeat.
7
All might, all praise be Thine,
Father, co-equal Son,
And Spirit, Bond of love divine,
Where endless ages run.
