The Word
Oh, eternal Word of God,
Abiding clear and strong!
How could I live without thy light
To light my path the whole day long?
I have no hope save in thy words
To keep me lest I stray.
Ere I begin the day alone,
And falter along the way.
But if I begin each day in prayer,
And reading from the Word,
I find the strength to face each hour,
Renewed in mind, enlivened in spirit,
The chord of Faith resounding in my soul.
