Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book ‎#120

120. We have a sure prophetic Word

1 We have a sure prophetic Word,
By inspiration of the Lord;
And though assailed on every hand,
Jehovah's Word shall ever stand.

2 By powers of empire banned and burned,
By pagan pride rejected, spurned,
The Word still stands the Christian's trust,
While haughty empires lie in dust.

3 Lo! what the Word in times of old
Of future days and deeds foretold,
Is all fulfilled, while ages roll,
As traced on the prophetic scroll.

4 Abiding, steadfast, firm, and sure,
The teachings of the Word endure:
Blest he who trusts this steadfast Word,
His anchor holds in Christ, the Lord.
