THE WORD OF GOD.
Blest word of God, our help, our stay!
Our star by night, our sun by day!
Our compass o'er life's pathless sea!
Our guide, O God, to heaven and Thee!
Our star by night, our sun by day!
Our compass o'er life's pathless sea!
Our guide, O God, to heaven and Thee!
Blest source of truth, thy voice we hear;
Thy precepts love, thy law revere!
God's hand on every leaf we trace;
In every page we see His face!
Thy precepts love, thy law revere!
God's hand on every leaf we trace;
In every page we see His face!

How free the pardon it reveals!
How rich the covenant love it seals!
How safe on its Amen to rest,—
The Word of God, forever blest!
How rich the covenant love it seals!
How safe on its Amen to rest,—
The Word of God, forever blest!
Far as the homes of man are known,
Reign Thou, Jehovah, God alone!
Send forth Thy Spirit with Thy word,
Till all earth's millions own Thee, Lord!
Reign Thou, Jehovah, God alone!
Send forth Thy Spirit with Thy word,
Till all earth's millions own Thee, Lord!
