Truth, Love and Joy

Author: E. E. Hewitt Hymnal: Jubilate #76 (1917) First Line: In the Book of God, we see His truth Refrain First Line: O what a word of blessing! Lyrics: 1 In the Book of God, we see His truth, Wonderful truth, wonderful truth! Blessed guidance for the path of youth; Let us receive it in the heart, And from all evil ways depart. Refrain: O what a word of blessing! O what a word of pow’r, Help while we’re onward pressing, Comfort for ev’ry hour; O what a word of counsel, Given with grace divine; Trusting forever, doubting never, Joy in our souls will shine. 2 God so loved the world His Son He gave, Wonderful love, wonderful love! Like a shepherd, He will seek and save; Beautiful promise of our King, Making the contrite spirit sing. [Refrain] 3 He will go with us through sun and show’r, Wonderful joy, wonderful joy! Filling ev’ry need of ev’ry hour; Smiling again His word to hear, Faith is dispelling all our fear. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [In the Book of God, we see His truth]
