HYMN 398

H.C 267 6s (FE 421)



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 

     Succour to the living 

     Word of life, supplying 

     Comfort to the dying!


6.  O that me, discerning

     Its most holy learning

     Lord, may love and fear Thee 

     Evermore be near Thee!  Amen
