ancient words

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 e'er 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

holy words long preserved

for our walk in this world

they resound with god's own heart

oh let the ancient words impart

ancient words ever true

changing me and changing you

we have come with open hearts

oh

let the ancient words impart

we have come with open hearts

oh

let the ancient words impart
