Methodist-Hymns-308
1: LORD, Thy word abideth,
And our footsteps guideth:
Who its truth believeth
Light and joy receiveth.
2: When our foes are near us,
Then Thy word doth cheer us,
Word of consolation,
Message of salvation.
3: When the storms are o’er us,
And dark clouds before us,
Then its light directeth,
And our way protecteth.
4: Who can tell the pleasure,
Who recount the treasure,
By Thy word imparted
To the simple-hearted?
5: Word of mercy, giving
Succour to the living;
Word of life, supplying
Comfort to the dying.
6: O that we discerning
Its most holy learning,
Lord, may love and fear Thee,
Evermore be near Thee!Amen.
