1 O living Word of God, God's image true,
Thou art the content of God's written word;
2 No man has e'er seen God, apart from Thee,
Without the Scripture Thee we'd hardly see;
3 Perfect embodiment Thou art of God,
A portrait full the Scripture gives of Thee;
4 Life-giving Spirit Thou, as well as Word,
Now e'en the Spirit in the Word Thou art;
5 In Thee I may with God have fellowship,
And thru the Scripture I on Thee may feed;
6 Teach me to exercise my spirit, Lord,
Thy Word to study, so to contact Thee,
