The word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever”-1 Pet. 1:23
1 Lord, Thy Word abideth,
And our footsteps guideth,
Who its thruth beleiveth,
light and joy receiveth.
2 When our foes are near us,
Then Thy word doth cheer us,
Word of consolation
Message of salvation.
3 When the storms are o’er us,
And dark clouds before us,
Then its light directeth,
And our way protecteth.
4 Who can tell the pleasure,
Who recount the treasure,
By Thy Word imparted
To the simple hearted?
5 Word of mercy, giving
Succours to the living.
Word of life, supplying
Comfort to the dying!
6 O that we discerning
Its most holy learning,
Lord, may love and fear Thee,
Evermore be near Thee!
