GRH 235 God's Holy Word Let Men Revere

(1)
God’s holy Word let men revere,
The Gospel’s sound with joy to hear:
God’s Word reveals His love alway,
Distress to heal, sin’s debt to pay.

(2)
God’s holy Word is truth complete,
Its taste surpassing honey sweet,
Containing gems of doctrine true,
Surpassing gold and silver, too.

(3)
To nations who in darkness trod,
Its Word shows forth the light of God:
Here truth is found, and promise bright;
God’s Word pervades the world with light.

(4)
Eternal life is in God’s Word
In awe we must obey the Lord,
Led by His hand, e’en death is gain,
Resolved in faith to share His reign.

(5)
I enter in thro’ Christ the Door,
His Word must reach from shore to shore:
The Spirit stirs me silently:
With God to dwell is ecstasy.
