EN 5391 The Holy Word of God
2Tim.3.16
Versi Version 1
1
The Holy Word of God:
It is the Christian’s rule
To teach, correct, rebuke and train—
The Church’s priceless jewel.
2
Let others rule by whim
Their lives from day to day.
God’s children have his Holy Word,
Which gladly they obey.
3
God-breathed, yet penned by man,
Preserved by arms and art,
The Church has born it in her breast—
She dare not from it part!
4
Nor could she ever do,
Else truth she could not know,
But set adrift in lies and myth
On wayward paths to go.
5
Yet we’ve no cause to fear.
God’s promises are true.
The gates of hell will not prevail
O’er those His grace imbues.
6
So let God’s true Church sing:
Those who His word do love—
Whom, as is written, shall be saved
To join His courts above.
