1 We have a sure prophetic Word,
By inspiration of the Lord;
And though assailed on every hand,
Jehovah's Word shall ever stand.
By inspiration of the Lord;
And though assailed on every hand,
Jehovah's Word shall ever stand.
2 By powers of empire banned and burned,
By pagan pride rejected, spurned,
The Word still stands the Christian's trust,
While haughty empires lie in dust.
By pagan pride rejected, spurned,
The Word still stands the Christian's trust,
While haughty empires lie in dust.
3 Lo! what the Word in times of old
Of future days and deeds foretold,
Is all fulfilled, while ages roll,
As traced on the prophetic scroll.
Of future days and deeds foretold,
Is all fulfilled, while ages roll,
As traced on the prophetic scroll.
