Lyrics
Verse 1
Lord, thy word abideth, 
and our footsteps guideth; 
who its truth believeth 
light and joy receiveth. 
 
Verse 2
When our foes are near us, 
then thy word doth cheer us, 
word of consolation, 
message of salvation. 
 
Verse 3
When the storms are o'er us, 
and dark clouds before us, 
then its light directeth, 
and our way protecteth. 
 
Verse 4
Who can tell the pleasure, 
who recount the treasure 
by thy word imparted 
to the simple-hearted? 
 
Verse 5
Word of mercy, giving 
succour to the living; 
word of life, supplying 
comfort to the dying. 
 
Verse 6
O that we discerning 
its most holy learning, 
Lord, may love and fear thee, 
evermore be near thee!
