The word of God which never shall cease

Petrus Herbert • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 19:7-14

Verse 1

The word of God, which ne’er shall cease, proclaims free pardon, grace, and peace, salvation shows in Christ alone, the perfect will of God makes known.

Verse 2

This holy Word exposes sin, convinces us that we’re unclean, points out the wretched, ruined state of human-kind, both small and great.

Verse 3

It then reveals God’s boundless grace, which justifies our sinful race, and gives eternal life to all who will accept the gospel call.

Verse 4

It gently heals the broken heart and heav'nly riches does impart, reveals redemption’s wondrous call through Christ’s atoning death for all.

O God, in whom our trust we place, we thank you for your word of grace; help us its precepts to obey till we shall live in endless day.
