The Word of God (Miller)

God’s Word alone can e’er af­ford

Sure ground for faith’s foun­da­tion;

It is a trea­sure from the Lord

Brings trust for full sal­va­tion.

No hu­man wis­dom can com­pare

With that of God’s own giv­ing

What God’s Word clear­ly doth de­clare

Sufficeth for our liv­ing.

On God and His pure Word alone

My heart can rest con­fid­ing;

From its bright pag­es light is thrown

Our pil­grim foot­steps guid­ing.

O God

let no false doc­trine turn

My heart from true de­vo­tion;

O fire my soul

that it may burn

For truth

with strong emo­tion.

In God alone I put my trust

On His rich care de­pend­ing;

He will ward off each dead­ly thrust

’Gainst Sa­tan’s craft de­fend­ing.

By Thy dear Word

up­hold me

Lord

And let me keep it pure­ly

Against the de­vil’s wrath and sword

And wiles

pre­served se­cure­ly.
