The Words of This Life

Verse 1

The gospel word, so freely given, Is full of life and love; It shows the way that all must follow To enter life above.

Chorus

Then stand in the house of the Lord, With the wonderful words of this life, And speak to the people waiting to hear All the wonderful words of this life.

Verse 2

It tells to all with faithful sayings, The story of the Lord; It tells his grace and all its riches, With life in ev’ry word.

Verse 3

It bids us seek the waiting Saviour With true, repentant hearts; It bids us take the Gift of Heaven, The Life that he imparts.

Verse 4

It bears to all the name of Jesus, Who suffered to redeem; It bears the plan of free salvation, And life is all its theme.
