Precious for­ev­er! oh, won­der­ful words,
Teach me the path­way of duty;
Lead me be­side the still wa­ters of life,
Flowing thro’ valleys of beau­ty.

Refrain

Precious for­ev­er to you and to me,
Words that our Sav­ior has spok­en,
Bearing sal­va­tion far over the sea,
Healing the hearts that are brok­en.

Freely He of­fers their pro­mise to all,
Come un­to Me who­so­ev­er:
Sinners op­pressed with a bur­den of woe,
Drink of the boun­ti­ful river.

Refrain

Wouldst thou re­fuse the sweet sol­ace He gives,
Deep in the mid­night of sor­row?
Wouldst thou go on in the dark­ness of sin,
Longing for no bright to­mor­row?

Refrain
