The final Word forever is
God’s alone and only His
Blessed Word, eternal good
Uniting hearts in brotherhood
Word divine, law supreme
Antidote to mortal dream

Oh, praise Him whose Word sustains
Loosening the grasp of creeds and chains
Then, open wide the heart and see
The heavenly Word that made man free—
That blessed child of God are we

—G. Gershala Goldsmith
