7. Praise the Lord for the Promise

1 Dear to me is the word of God,
Shining light on my pilgrim road,
Word of life sent from heav’n above,
Message of mercy and love.

Refrain:
Praise the Lord for the promise ever true!
Praise the Lord for the promise ever new;
It is given from above, an expression of God’s love
To a world that’s in sin and need.

2 Ev’ry promise revealed to men,
ev’ry promise is yea, Amen!
Thro’ the years they shall all prevail;
Never shall one promise fail. [Refrain]

3 Word from heaven, O word of truth!
Hope of aged and guide of youth!
Thy commandments will we obey,
Walk in Thy counsels alway. [Refrain]

4 Lamp of life shine upon us still,
Ev’ry promise of love reveal,
Guide our feet in life’s pathway bright,
Up to yon fair land of light. [Refrain]
