Christ, your word abides

(one verse introduction)

Christ, your word abides,
and our footsteps guide - - -.
In its truth do we believe,
light and joy receive -.

When the storms are near us,
then your word does cheer - us.
Word of consola-tion,
message of salvation.

Who can tell the pleasure,
who recount the trea-sure
by your word impart-ed
to the simple hearted.

O that we discerning
that most holy learn-ing,
Christ, may love and worship you.
Ever more be near you.
Amen.
