Holy words, long preserved,
For our walk in this world,
They redound with God's own heart.
O, let the ancient words impart.
Words of life, words of hope,
Give us strength, help us cope
In the world where e'er we roam,
Ancient words will guide us home.
CHORUS
Ancient words, ever true,
Changing me and 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.
Holy words, long preserved,
For our walk in this world,
They resound with God's own heart,
O let the ancient words impart.
CHORUS
Ancient words, ever true,
Changing me and changing you,
We have come with open hearts,
O let the ancient words impart.
