Lord, Thy Word Abideth Songtext
von Ely Cathedral Choir

Lord, Thy word abideth
And our footsteps guideth
Who its truth believeth
Light and joy receiveth

When our foes are near us
Then Thy word doth cheer us
Word of consolation
Message of salvation


When the storms are o′er us
And dark clouds before us
Then its light directeth
And our way protecteth

Who can tell the pleasure?
Who recount the treasure
By Thy word imparted
To the simple-hearted?

Word of mercy, giving
Succour to the living
Word of life, supplying
Comfort to the dying


O that we're discerning
It′s most holy learning
Lord, may love and fear thee
Evermore be near thee
