sing them over
repetition
and to teach us how to take us into heaven
by
the words of life
and the one word most of all who made
and who saves
for the good reason
given
in the gospel
and sung from time to time
which might be the way
the word
commanded
into
nothingness
become creation
c l couch
Sing them over again to me, wonderful words of life;
Let me more of their beauty see, wonderful words of life;
Words of life and beauty, teach me faith and duty.
