Holy words long preserved
For our walk in this world;
They resound with God's own heart,
Oh, let the ancient words impart.

Words of life, words of hope,
Give us strength, help us cope;
In this world where're we roam
Ancient words will guide us home.

Ancient words ever true,
Changing me and changing you;
We have come with open hearts,
Oh, let the ancient words impart.

Holy words of our faith
Handed down to this age,
Came to us through sacrifice;
Oh, 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.

Ancient words ever true,
Changing me and changing you;
We have come with open hearts,
Oh, let the ancient words impart.
