Anthem J.S. Bach, Text James Quinn Word of God, come down on earth Living rain from heav’n descending; Touch our hearts and bring to birth Faith and hope and love unending. Word almighty, we revere you; Word made flesh, we long to hear you. Word that caused blind eyes to see, Speak and heal our mortal blindness; Deaf we are: our healer be; Loose our tongues to tell your kindness. Be our Word in mercy spoken, Heal the world by grace unbroken. Word that speaks the Father’s Love, One with God beyond all telling, Word that sends us from above God the spirit, with us dwelling; Word of truth, to all truth lead us, Word of life, with one bread feed us.
