Author: Christopher Idle (born 1938) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #249 (1987) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 How sure the Scriptures are!
God's vital, urgent word,
as true as steel, and far
more sharp than any sword:
So deep and fine,
at his control
they pierce where soul
and spirit join.
2 They test each human thought,
refining like a fire;
they measure what we ought
to do and to desire:
For God know all —
exposed it lies
before his eyes
to whom we call.
3 Let those who hear his voice
confronting them today,
reject the tempting choice
of doubting or delay:
For God speaks still —
his word is clear,
so let us hear
and do his will! Topics: God, Spirit Word of Truth, the Scriptures; Advent 2 The Word of God in the Old Testament; Epiphany 6, Revelation Parables; Pentecost 22 The Two Ways Scripture: Hebrews 4:12-13 Languages: English Tune Title: CROFT'S 136th
