The Word of God (Lillenas)

The Word of God is like a light

That shines se­rene­ly thro’ the night;

Its rays will light my wea­ry way

To the realms of a fair

un­end­ing day.

The Word of God is strong and sure

Forevermore it shall en­dure

When oceans cease to kiss the shore

When suns shall set to rise no more;

’Mid crash of worlds it shall re­main

Unshaken midst the star­ry rain

Upon its firm foun­da­tion strong

I will plant my feet thro’ the ag­es long.

The Word of God is like a sword

That pierc­es hearts

thus sa­ith the Lord;

And like a ham­mer

weigh­ty

strong

That can break up the rocks of sin and wrong.

The Word of God is like the bread

On which the hosts of old were fed;

From Heav’n it came to fill our need

Hungry hearts it will sa­tis­fy indeed.

The Word of God is like a fire

It kin­dles in our hearts de­sire

To see its au­thor face to face

And to know all the full­ness of His grace.
