1 We have a sure prophetic Word
By inspiration of the Lord;
And tho' assailed on ev'ry 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.

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.

4 Abiding, steadfast, firm, and sure,
The statements of the Word endure:
Blest he who trusts this steadfast Word,
His anchor holds in Christ, the Lord.
