GOD, BLESS THE WORD TODAY

Don Fortner

(Tune: On Jordan's Stormy Banks #517 {No Refrain} CM)

 

-When God the Holy Ghost reveals

The message of His Word,

And to the wakened conscience seals

Christ's sin-atoning blood -

 

The wonders of redeeming grace

On every page unfold,

And there the Savior's lovely face

Believing eyes behold!

 

The sacred Word, by heav'nly light,

Descending from above,

Reproves and yet gives us delight

With promises of love.

 

Our many sorrows are redressed

And all our needs supplied,

When to our hearts the Word is blessed

And graciously applied.

 

God, bless the Word preached here today

Bring it to us with power;

Help us to hear what You will say

Through Your servant this hour.
