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.
