Oh, Wonderful Word!

Oh

won­der­ful

won­der­ful

Word of the Lord!

True wis­dom its pag­es un­fold;

And though we may read them

A thou­sand times o’er

They nev­er

no nev­er

grow old!

Each line hath a trea­sure

Each pro­mise a pearl

That all if they will may se­cure;

And we know that when time

And the world pass away

God’s Word shall for­ev­er en­dure.

Oh

won­der­ful

won­der­ful

Word of the Lord!

The lamp that our Fa­ther ab­ove

So kind­ly has light­ed

To teach us the way

That leads to the arms of His love!

Its warn­ings

its coun­sels

Are faith­ful and just;

Its judg­ments are per­fect and pure;

And we know that when time

And the world pass away

God’s Word shall for­ev­er en­dure.

Oh

won­der­ful

won­der­ful

Word of the Lord!

Our on­ly sal­va­tion is there;

It car­ries con­vict­ion

Down deep in the heart

And shows us our­selves as we are.

It tells of a Sav­ior

And points to the cross

Where par­don we now may se­cure;

For we know that when time

And the world pass away

God’s Word shall for­ev­er en­dure.

Oh

won­der­ful

won­der­ful

Word of the Lord!

The hope of our friends in the past;

Its truth

where so firm­ly

They an­chored their trust

Through ag­es eter­nal shall last.

Oh

won­der­ful

won­der­ful

Word of the Lord!

Unchanging

abid­ing and sure;

For we know that when time

And the world pass away

God’s Word shall for­ev­er en­dure.
