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