Word of God, Hope of Nations

This song is donated to the public domain.

Verse 1
O join me in a hymn to God, whose Word has set me free!
He from the dust hath formed us to reign eternally.
Judge not the Lord by weakened sense, His Word will prove true:
It is He who stands as judge on Earth to maketh all things new!

Verse 2
O sin that causes us to trust in rank authorities, 
Against you stands a frightful Word that echoes through the trees:
“Your hope is built on nothing more than weak minds and lore.
The One who made you sent His Word to meet and save the poor.”

Verse 3
We cast from us our fleshliness and on our God rely:
“In Christ alone our Righteousness” will ever be our cry.
Elect from every land on Earth our God loses none. 
We await that day when we will stand before His throne as one!

Verse 4
From tongue to tongue and land to land the Word of God we take,
To walk the ground that God hath trod before we ever spake
Of God the judge who saves by grace; those who are enemies
He raises up with Christ their Lord to sit in heavenlies.

Verse 5
The gods that rule this present age do tremble at His gaze,
They can not give what He provides: a hope for all our days.
We join our voices in this hymn with tongues yet unknown
That God our Father, strong to save, will not forsake His own.
