Sacred Songs and Solos Lyrics
Hymn No.264
First Line: Oh, wonderful, wonderful Word of the Lord,
Oh, wonderful, wonderful Word of the Lord !
True wisdom its pages unfold ;
And though we may read them a
thousand times o'er,
They never, no, never grow old.
Each line hath a treasure, each
promise a pearl,
That all if they will may secure ;
And we know that when time and
the world pass away,
God's Word shall for ever endure.
2 Oh, wonderful, wonderful Word of the Lord !
The lamp that our Father above
So kindly has lighted to teach us the way
That leads to the arms of His love !
Its warnings, its counsels, are faithful and just ;
Its judgments are perfect and pure ;
And we know that when time and the world pass away,
God's Word shall for ever endure.
3 Oh, wonderful, wonderful Word of the Lord !
Our only salvation is there ;
It carries conviction down deep in the heart,
And shows us ourselves as we are
It tells of a Saviour, and points to the cross,
Where pardon we now may secure ;
For we know that when time and the
world pass away,
God's Word shall for ever endure.
4 Oh, wonderful, wonderful Word of the Lord !
The hope of our friends in the past ;
Its truth where so firmly they anchored their trust,
Through ages eternal shall last.
Oh, wonderful, wonderful Word of the Lord !
Unchanging, abiding, and sure ;
For we know that when time and
the world pass away,
God's Word shall for ever endure.
