Glad Tidings in Song ‎#115

115. Honey from the rock

1 Far sweeter than the honey-comb
God’s Word is to His flock;
His precious Word makes fat the soul,
‘Tis honey from the rock.

Refrain:
It is honey from the rock,
It is honey from the rock,
My Saviour now is feeding me with honey from the rock;
It is honey from the rock,
It is honey from the rock,
My Saviour now is feeding me with honey from the rock.

2 When reading thro’ God’s precious Word,
I with my Saviour talk,
He feeds me with the bread of life,
And honey from the rock. [Refrain]

3 As day by day I read His Word,
And with my Saviour walk,
He spread for me a feast of things
With honey from the rock. [Refrain]

4 God’s Word is like the treasure hid,
Or finest wheat in shock,
‘Tis manna from the skies above,
And honey from the rock. [Refrain]
