Song Lyrics
[Verse 1] Lord, thy word abideth, and our footsteps guideth; who its truth believeth light and joy receiveth. [Verse 2] When our foes are near us, then thy word doth cheer us, word of consolation, message of salvation. [Verse 3] When the storms are o'er us, and dark clouds before us, then its light directeth, and our way protecteth. [Verse 4] Who can tell the pleasure, who recount the treasure by thy word imparted to the simple-hearted? [Verse 5] Word of mercy, giving succour to the living; word of life, supplying comfort to the dying. [Verse 6] O that we discerning its most holy learning, Lord, may love and fear thee, evermore be near thee!
