Praise God for His Word

Praise God for His Word!

From its pag­es di­vine

Came the light of His love

To this poor heart of mine:

I had wan­dered afar

In the by­ways of sin

When the light of His truth

To my heart en­tered in.

Praise God for His grace

Which its pag­es un­fold!

For the sto­ry of love

Which will nev­er grow old!

For the light on life’s path­way

Which streams from its pag­es!

Praise God for His Word

Blessèd Book of the Ag­es!

Praise God for His Word;

For the heav­en­ly light

It is send­ing afar

Into sin’s dark­some night;

For the hope which it gives

Where be­fore was des­pair

For the Heav­en re­vealed

And the way lead­ing there!

Praise God for His Word!

Not a pro­mise shall fail;

Whatsoe’er may op­pose

Still its truth will pre­vail:

’Tis the Word of our God

And fore’er must en­dure;

Earth and Heav­en may pass

But it stand­eth se­cure.
