Oh, wonderful, wonderful Word of the Lord ! True wisdom its pages unfold ; And though we may read them a thousand times o'er, They never, no, never grow old. Each line hath a treasure, each promise a pearl, That all if they will may secure ; And we know that when time and the world pass away, God's Word shall for ever endure.
2. Oh, wonderful, wonderful Word of the Lord ! The lamp that our Father above So kindly has lighted to teach us the way That leads to the arms of His love ! Its warnings, its counsels, are faithful and just ; Its judgments are perfect and pure ; And we know that when time and the world pass away, God's Word shall for ever endure.
3. Oh, wonderful, wonderful Word of the Lord ! Our only salvation is there ; It carries conviction down deep in the heart, And shows us ourselves as we are It tells of a Saviour, and points to the cross, Where pardon we now may secure ; For we know that when time and the world pass away, God's Word shall for ever endure.
4. Oh, wonderful, wonderful Word of the Lord ! The hope of our friends in the past ; Its truth where so firmly they anchored their trust, Through ages eternal shall last. Oh, wonderful, wonderful Word of the Lord ! Unchanging, abiding, and sure ; For we know that when time and the world pass away, God's Word shall for ever endure.
