Holy words long preserved
For our walk in this world
They resound with God’s own heart
O let the ancient words impart
Words of life words of hope
Give us strength help us cope
In this world where’er we roam
Ancient words will guide us home
Ancient words ever true
Changing me changing you
We have come with open hearts
O let the ancient words impart
Holy words of our faith
Handed down to this age
Came to us through sacrifice
O heed the faithful words of Christ
Martyr’s blood stains each page
They have died for this faith
Hear them cry through the years
Heed these words and hold them dear
We have come with open hearts
O let the ancient words impart
O let the ancient words impart
