The Study of God’s Word

The study of God’s Word re­veals

The way to our eter­nal king;

Whose hand cre­at­ed Heav’n and earth

And of whose pow­er we tell and sing;

Each pre­cious pro­mise fills the heart

With in­spir­ations from above

Awakening hopes and ho­ly thoughts

Of that bright land where all is love.

The stu­dy of God’s Word in­vites

The wea­ry

wan­der­ing doubt­ing one

To fo­llow God in that new life

Procured for us thro’ His dear Son;

It tells of grace and love di­vine

Of end­less bless­ing rich and free

Of liv­ing streams and pas­tures green

Where Je­sus reigns eter­nal­ly.

The stu­dy of God’s Word im­parts

A com­fort and a rest­ful peace;

A shin­ing light that leads the way

To joys that nev­er­more shall cease;

A last­ing strength that nev­er fails

When we ap­proach the com­ing foe;

A rock

on which our feet can stand

In ev­ery con­flict here be­low.

The stu­dy of God’s Word fore­tells

The glo­ry of that gold­en shore

Where heav’n­ly hosts in tri­umph sing

And praise their king for­ev­ermore.

It warns us of the wrath to come

For those who nev­er seek their Lord;

It bids us trust in God alone

And take Him at His pro­mised word.
