An open Bible for the world? May this our glorious motto be! On ev'ry breeze its flag unfurled Shall scatter blessings rich and free. Refrain Blest Word of God! send forth thy light. O'er every land and every sea, Till all who wander in the night Are led to God and heaven by thee. Refrain Where'er it goes its golden light, Streaming as from an unveiled sun, Shall dissipate the clouds of night, Undo the work that sin has done. Refrain It shows to men the Father's face, All radiant with forgiving love; And to the lost of Adam's race Proclaims sweet mercy from above. Refrain It offers rest to weary hearts, It comforts those who sit in tears; To all who faint, it strength imparts, And gilds with hope th'eternal years. Refrain
