Text Based On Amos Chapter 8
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will
send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor
a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD.

The Holy Word !

The Holy Word! Behold it, and hail it with a song,
And let the voice of millions the joyful strain prolong,
To every clime and nation, we send it forth today;
God speed its glorious mission, with earnest prayer we pray.

Refrain
The Holy Word! Behold it, and hail it with a song,
And let the voice of millions the joyful strain prolong.

The Holy Word! Unfurl it, that all the world may see
The bloodstained stake of Jesus, Who died to make us free.
The Holy Word! Unfurl it, and o'er and o'er again,
Oh! It does bear Thy message, "Good will and peace to men!"

Refrain

The Holy Word! God bless it! Help send it to the lost,
And may it reap triumphant o'er land and distant seas,
Till all the wide creation upon its folds shall gaze,
And all the world united, our loving Savior praise.

Refrain
