Refrain: Blessèd Word, blessèd Word, Thou’rt life to the soul that has heard; Blessèd Word, blessèd Word, Blessèd Word, Thou’rt life to the soul that has heard. 2 They bow to their idols of stone, To their idols of silver and gold; But to worship the Savior alone They never, alas! have been told. [Refrain] 3 In sorrow they pass to the grave, Thro’ the valley of sin and of woe; Yet our Jesus is waiting to save If only to Him they will go. [Refrain] 4 His servants are hastening to bear Precious tidings of life o’er the sea; We will join them in labor and prayer, Happy workers for Jesus are we.
