Author: Emanuel Cronenwett, 1841-1931 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #291 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Christian Worship (1993) Lyrics: 1 We have a sure prophetic Word
By inspiration of the Lord,
And, though assailed on ev'ry hand,
Jehovah's Word shall ever stand.
2 By pow'rs 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 Whate'er 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 teachings of the Word endure.
Blest all who trust this steadfast Word;
Their anchor holds in Christ, the Lord. Topics: Word of God; Word of God Languages: English Tune Title: WO GOTT ZUM HAUS
