O Changeless Word

O change­less Word of life and light

A per­fect rule to guide me

I take thy coun­sels

trust thy truth

And in my heart I hide thee.

Precious Bi­ble

pre­cious Bi­ble

Book by in­spir­ation given;

Precious Bi­ble

pre­cious Bi­ble

Light to guide our souls to Heav’n!

Thou Book di­vine

thy pag­es shine

With Heav’n’s un­fad­ing glo­ry;

Thou dost re­veal to mor­tals here

The great re­demp­tion sto­ry.

Here law and love and wis­dom stand

Revealed through by­gone ag­es

And child­ren read a mes­sage sweet

Upon thy sim­ple pages.

Untouched by time

or men’s as­saults

This Word re­mains un­shak­en

And those who build upon this rock

Will nev­er be for­sak­en.
