The Cyber Hymnal ‎#4738

4738. O Changeless Word

1. O changeless Word of life and light,
A perfect rule to guide me,
I take thy counsels, trust thy truth,
And in my heart I hide thee.

Refrain
Precious Bible, precious Bible,
Book by inspiration given;
Precious Bible, precious Bible,
Light to guide our souls to Heav’n!

2. Thou Book divine, thy pages shine
With Heav’n’s unfading glory;
Thou dost reveal to mortals here
The great redemption story. [Refrain]

3. Here law and love and wisdom stand
Revealed through bygone ages,
And children read a message sweet
Upon thy simple pages. [Refrain]

4. Untouched by time, or men’s assaults,
This Word remains unshaken,
And those who build upon this rock
Will never be forsaken. [Refrain]
