Down the ages, saints
have offered
Endless praises, wise
and well.
Sharing wonders of
the Gospel,
As they worked, good
news to tell—
Living in the light
of Jesus,
Down the ages, to
this day!
Since the day when
Jesus called them
As God’s word
inflamed their soul
And the ways of faith
enthralled them
Saints still seek the
kingdom’s goal—
Living in the light
of Jesus,
Down the ages, to
this day!
Come and cast
off vain ambition,
Clothe
yourselves in love and grace,Serving Christ, your only mission,
As God sets the time and place!
Living in the light of Jesus,
Down the ages, to this day!
Teachers, preachers, all
who care,
Friends who love the Lord
and show it,
Taking Jesus everywhere.
Living in the light
of Jesus,
Down the ages, to
this day!
See them in one great
procession,
One in Christ and one
in faith,
Praising, serving, in
succession,
Christ the Living
Lord of grace!
Living in the light
of Jesus,
Down the ages, to
this day!
