“A more sure word, … whereunto ye do well that ye take heed.” (2 Pet. 1:19.)
A Word sent down from God in heaven,
A Word from Christ to mortals given,
A Word of truth, a Word of love,
What matchless mercies doth it prove:
God’s Holy Word.
A Word inerrant always true
Through all the ages ever new;
Though heaven and earth shall pass away,
This Word abideth on for aye:
God’s Living Word.
A Word that’s named, God’s Holy Book,
A Word on which the angels look,
A Word to which the saints give heed,
A Word which meets their every need:
God’s Faithful Word.
A Word which God has authorized
The Living Word, all vitalized,
A life-begetting Word to all
Who trust in Christ, and on Him call:
God’s Saving Word.
A Sacred Word, a lamp, a light
That shineth through the darkest night;
A Word that gleams upon our way,
That brighter shines till perfect day:
God’s Blessed Word.
A Word that came from God’s own hand,
A Word of power and command;
A Word by which all things were made,
A Word by which the storm was stayed:
God’s Mighty Word.
A Word of Grace, a Word replete,
The staff of life of finest wheat;
A Word that’s stamped with God’s “amen,”
I’ll preach it over moor and fen:
God’s Wondrous Word.
