How sure the Scriptures are!

Author: Christopher Idle (born 1938) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: God, Spirit Word of Truth, the Scriptures; Advent 2 The Word of God in the Old Testament; Epiphany 6, Revelation Parables; Pentecost 22 The Two Ways Lyrics: 1 How sure the Scriptures are! God's vital, urgent word, as true as steel, and far more sharp than any sword: So deep and fine, at his control they pierce where soul and spirit join. 2 They test each human thought, refining like a fire; they measure what we ought to do and to desire: For God know all — exposed it lies before his eyes to whom we call. 3 Let those who hear his voice confronting them today, reject the tempting choice of doubting or delay: For God speaks still — his word is clear, so let us hear and do his will!

The mountains and hills shall break forth into song, the peoples be led forth in peace, for the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of God as the waters cover the sea. 2 Yet nations still prey on the meek of the world, and conflict turns parent from child. Your people despoil all the sweetness of earth; the brier and the thorn tree grow wild. God, bring to fruition your will for the earth, that no one shall hurt or destroy, when wisdom and justice shall reign in the land and your people shall go forth in joy. Used With Tune: SAMANTHRA
