Christ in Song 408

AN OPEN BIBLE FOR THE WORLD

Studio

1An open Bible for the world! May this our watchword be,
Wherever men in darkness dwell, all nations shall be free.
Let voices rise from earth's remotest bounds to greet that day,
God's Book shall be the light of all, the truth that lights the way.

RefrainAn open Bible for the world! An open Bible for the world!
Proclaim sweet mercy from above, and forth the light unfurled;
Proclaim sweet mercy from above, and forth the light unfurled;
And point with hope to eternal years.

2An open Bible for the world! What though the mountains high,
The valleys deep, the desert sand, the raging seas defy.
God's Word shall conquer every foe, shall break down every wall,
And make the desert places bloom with Gospel truth for all.
