The study of God’s Word re­veals
The way to our eter­nal king;
Whose hand cre­at­ed Heav’n and earth,
And of whose pow­er we tell and sing;
Each pre­cious pro­mise fills the heart
With in­spi­ra­tions from above,
Awakening hopes and ho­ly thoughts
Of that bright land where all is love.

The stu­dy of God’s Word in­vites
The wea­ry, wan­der­ing doubt­ing one
To fo­llow God in that new life,
Procured for us thro’ His dear Son;
It tells of grace and love di­vine,
Of end­less bless­ing rich and free,
Of liv­ing streams and pas­tures green,
Where Je­sus reigns eter­nal­ly.

The stu­dy of God’s Word im­parts
A com­fort and a rest­ful peace;
A shin­ing light that leads the way
To joys that ne­ver­more shall cease;
A last­ing strength that ne­ver fails,
When we ap­proach the com­ing foe;
A rock, on which our feet can stand,
In ev­ery con­flict here be­low.

The stu­dy of God’s Word fore­tells
The glo­ry of that gold­en shore,
Where heav’n­ly hosts in tri­umph sing
And praise their king for­ev­ermore.
It warns us of the wrath to come
For those who ne­ver seek their Lord;
It bids us trust in God alone,
And take Him at His pro­mised word.
