Holy words, long preserved
        G            A

Oh, let the ancient words impart.

Give us strength, help us cope.

In this world, where e’er we roam,
        G          A        D

Holy words of our faith,
       G            A
Handed down to this age,

Came to us through sacrifice,
            G        A        D
Oh heed the faithful words of Christ.
