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 for­ev­er en­dure.

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 for­ev­er en­dure.

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 Sav­ior,
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 for­ev­er en­dure.

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 for­ev­er en­dure.
