279 Thy Holy Word Fervently 1. We love to hear thy holy word Proclaimed in latter days. It lifts our hearts; our souls are stirred To glorify thy ways. 2. We love to read thy holy word With quiet thought and prayer. Thy Spirit’s whisp’rings we have heard; We feel thy constant care. 3. We love to share thy holy word; Thy gospel we proclaim. We humbly bear our witness, Lord, Of thy redeeming name. 4. We thank thee for thy holy word; With joy we sing thy praise. Oh, help us, Lord, to learn thy word And live it all our days.
