God’s Word

lyricist: Leander Munhall, 1889
Composer: William Kirkpatrick

The Bi­ble was giv­en

That lost men may know

The way into Heav­en

And shun hell be­low.

It does not de­ceive us;

Is faith­ful to tell

Of sin

death

and judg­ment

And tor­ments of hell.

No word ev­er spok­en

By God to His own

Was ever yet brok­en;

’Tis firm as His throne.

It then points to Je­sus

Redeemer of all

The mighty who frees us

From curse of the fall.

It shows us our du­ty

To God and to man

In words of great beau­ty

And know them all can.

It tells us of Heav­en

The home of the soul

And crowns to be giv­en

While ag­es shall roll.

Oh

Heav­en-born trea­sure!

We would have the more

In full­ness of mea­sure

And rich­ness of store.
