God's word of prophecies is given

Verse 1

God's word of prophecies are giv'n, His counsels to reveal; More firm and sure than earth or heav'n, They stand and never fail.

Verse 2

This word is like the morning star, Just glaring thro' the skies! First shews its dawning from afar, Until the Sun arise.

Verse 3

More piercing than the purest light, It casts aa heav'nly ray; Dispells the pow'r of darkest night, And turns it into day.

Verse 4

As all the Prophets prophecied, Inspir'd from God above, All are fulfill'd and verified As circumstances prove.

Verse 5

As Moses in his day declar'd, And all the fathers shew'd; The Lord of lite has now appear'd To make us sons of God.

Verse 6

May I unto this light give heed! Since none but this alone Can be, the light of life I need: To make the Lord my own.
