The Word of God Shall Stand

The Word of God shall ev­er stand

Though stormed by ev­ery foe;

Upheld by His al­migh­ty hand

No pow­ers can ov­er­throw.

Though all the pow­ers of hell en­gage

And hosts of sin as­sail

God’s won­drous might

His change­less Word

Shall ev­er­more pre­vail.

The Word of God shall stand

Shall stand un­changed for­ev­er;

In ev­ery clime and land

The world shall own its sway.

The Word of God shall stand

Its foes can change it nev­er;

Though Heav’n and earth may pass away

God’s Word shall stand for­ev­er.

God’s Word has stood the fie­ry darts

Of all the sin­ful world;

And skep­tics all through ag­es past

Their fierc­est blows have hurled;

It stands un­moved

a migh­ty rock

’Gainst cru­el hate and scorn

To bless the na­tions of the earth

And na­tions yet un­born.

Then sound we forth His glo­ri­ous Word

To souls of all the earth

To tell them of the Fa­ther’s love

And Je­sus’ match­less worth.

It is the Spir­it’s migh­ty sword

No pow­er on earth can stay;

Though Heav’n and earth may be re­moved

God’s Word shall stand for aye.
