1. The prophets of old sought to learn of the Christ,

The hope of all groaning creation.

God’s spirit revealed that Messiah would come,

Providing the means of salvation.

The time has arrived, the Messiah now reigns,

The proof of his presence is clear.

How great is the favor of learning such things;

Into these even angels would peer!

2. Our Lord has appointed a trustworthy slave,

Through whom He gives food in due season.

The light of the truth has grown brighter with time,

Appealing to heart and to reason.

Our path ever clearer, our steps ever firm,

We walk in the brightness of day.

All thanks to Jehovah, the Source of all truth,

We most gratefully walk in his way.
