Lyrics:

Refrain: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ, king of endless glory.

1. Our hearts cannot live on bread alone,
but by every word that comes from God's own mouth.

2. I hope in the Lord, I trust the Word:
with the Lord, our God, is mercy evermore.

3. O turn to the Lord with all your heart;
come to know the Lord whose ways are truth and love.
