Thy Word, O Lord, like gentle dews

Author: Charles Bernard Garve; Miss Winkworth Appears in 46 hymnals Topics: The Means of Grace The Word of God Lyrics: 1 Thy Word, O Lord, like gentle dews, Falls soft on hearts that pine; Lord, to Thy garden ne'er refuse This heavenly balm of Thine. Watered by Thee, let every tree Forth blossom to Thy praise, By grace of Thine bear fruit divine, Through all the coming days. 2 Thy Word is like a flaming sword, A wedge that cleaveth stone; Keen as a fire, so burns Thy Word, And pierceth flesh and bone. Let it go forth o'er all the earth, To cleanse our hearts within, To show Thy power in Satan's hour And break the might of sin. 3 Thy Word, a wondrous guiding star, On pilgrim hearts doth rise, Leads those to God who dwell afar, And makes the simple wise. Let not its light e'er sink in night; In every spirit shine, That none may miss heaven's final bliss, Led by Thy light divine. Used With Tune: OLD 132D PSALM

Well Thou may'st claim that heart of me, Which owes so much to Thine. 4 Yes, Thou shalt surely have my heart, My soul, my strength, my all; With life itself I'll freely part, My Jesus, at Thy call.

How vain the delusion, that while you delay Your hearts may grow better, your chains melt away. Come guilty, come wretched, come just as you are; All helpless and dying, to Jesus repair. 3.
