Hymnal: Christian Hymns #30 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 We have a sure, prophetic Word,
By inspiration of the Lord;
And though assailed on every hand,
Jehovah's word shall ever stand.
2 By powers of empire banned and burned,
By pagan pride rejected, spurned,
The Word still stands the Christian's trust,
While haughty empires lie in dust.
3 Lo! what the Word in times of old
Of future days and deeds foretold,
Is all fulfilled, while ages roll,
As traced on the prophetic scroll.
4 Abiding, steadfast, firm, and sure,
The teachings of the Word endure:
Blest he who trusts this steadfast Word,
His anchor holds in Christ, the Lord. Topics: Word of God; Word of God Abiding and Sure; Word of God Inspiration of Languages: English Tune Title: LORD JESUS CHRIST, BE PRESENT NOW
