The Word of God shall ev­er stand,
Though stormed by ev­ery foe;
Upheld by His al­migh­ty hand,
No pow­ers can ov­er­throw.
Though all the pow­ers of hell en­gage,
And hosts of sin as­sail
God’s won­drous might, His change­less Word
Shall ev­er­more pre­vail.

Refrain

The Word of God shall stand,
Shall stand un­changed for­ev­er;
In ev­ery clime and land
The world shall own its sway.
The Word of God shall stand,
Its foes can change it ne­ver;
Though Heav’n and earth may pass away,
God’s Word shall stand for­ev­er.

God’s Word has stood the fie­ry darts
Of all the sin­ful world;
And skep­tics all through ag­es past
Their fierc­est blows have hurled;
It stands un­moved, a migh­ty rock,
’Gainst cru­el hate and scorn,
To bless the na­tions of the earth,
And na­tions yet un­born.

Refrain

Then sound we forth His glo­ri­ous Word
To souls of all the earth,
To tell them of the Fa­ther’s love,
And Je­sus’ match­less worth.
It is the Spir­it’s migh­ty sword
No pow­er on earth can stay;
Though Heav’n and earth may be re­moved,
God’s Word shall stand for aye.
