Precious Words (Rogers)

Precious for­ev­er! oh

won­der­ful words

Teach me the path­way of duty;

Lead me be­side the still wa­ters of life

Flowing thro’ valleys of beau­ty.

Precious for­ev­er to you and to me

Words that our Sav­ior has spok­en

Bearing sal­va­tion far over the sea

Healing the hearts that are brok­en.

Freely He of­fers their pro­mise to all

Come un­to Me who­so­ev­er:

Sinners op­pressed with a bur­den of woe

Drink of the boun­ti­ful river.

Wouldst thou re­fuse the sweet sol­ace He gives

Deep in the mid­night of sor­row?

Wouldst thou go on in the dark­ness of sin

Longing for no bright to­mor­row?
