Oh, wonderful, wonderful Word of the Lord!
True wisdom its pages unfold,
And though we may read them a thousand times o’er
They never, no never, grow old!
Each line has a treasure, each promise a pearl,
That all, if they will, may secure;
And we know that when time and the world pass away
God’s Word shall forever endure.
Oh, wonderful, wonderful Word of the Lord!
Our only salvation is there;
It carries conviction down deep in the heart,
And shows us ourselves as we are.
It tells of a Savior, and points to the Cross,
Where pardon we now may secure;
And we know that when time and the world pass away
God’s Word shall forever endure.
—John Newton
