Lord Thy Word Abideth

Lord,Thy Word abideth,
And our footsteps guideth;
Who it's truth believeth
Light and joy receiveth.

When our foes are near us
Then Thy Word doth cheer us,
Word of consolation,
Message of Salvation.

When the storms are over us,
And dark clouds before us,
Then it's light directeth,
And our way protecteth.

Who can tell the pleasure,
Who recount the treasure,
By Thy Word imparted
To the simple-hearted?

Word of mercy, giving,
Succour to the living;
Word of life, supplying
Comfort to the dying.

Oh,that we discerning
Its most holy learning
Lord, may love and fear Thee,
Ever more be near Thee.
