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.
