O precious Word, that through the Master came,
To bring sweet peace and healing in God's name;
The Word which, spoken to the swelling crowd,
Rebuked the swinish thought,
Made evil cry aloud, Torment us not;
And yet in tender might
Brought the repentant to the Master's feet!
God's Word is law; and when it is obeyed,
No matter what the trial,
We need not be dismayed;
His word a lamp, whose glorious shining rays
Point on and up to higher, holier ways.
