God’s Word Is Like a Flaming Sword

God’s Word is like a flam­ing sword

A wedge that cleaves the stone;

Keen as a fire

so burns His Word

And pierc­es flesh and bone.

Let it go forth o’er all the earth

To cleanse our hearts with­in

To show God’s pow­er in Sa­tan’s hour

And break the might of sin.

God’s Word

a won­drous guid­ing star

On pil­grim hearts does rise

Leads those to God who dwell afar

And makes the sim­ple wise.

Let not its light e’er sink in night

But in each spir­it shine

That none may miss Heav­en’s fi­nal bliss

Led by God’s light di­vine.
