Author: Henry Williams Baker, 1821-1877 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #502 (1997) Meter: 6.6.6.6 Scripture: Mark 13:28 Lyrics: 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
help unto the living;
word of life, supplying
comfort to the dying!
6 Oh that we, discerning
its most holy learning,
Lord, may love and fear thee,
evermore be near thee. Topics: Comfort / Consolation; Guidance; Storm; The Bible Languages: English Tune Title: RAVENSHAW
