O Blessed Word
Eternal life God’s word proclaims
To lost and dying men;
By it alone we know the Lord
Unseen by mortal ken.
God’s grace is in His hold Word;
We need it every day;
In all our conflicts this the sword
Our every foe to slay.
By this same word we know our work,
And how it should be done;
How we should live, and how through grace
The promised crown is won.
O blessed Word, O gracious Word,
We love it more and more;
O may it be our strength and sword,
Till earthly strife is o’er.
