Verse 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.

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.

Lo, what the Word in times of old Of future days and deeds foretold Is all fulfilled while ages roll, As traced on the prophetic scroll.
Verse 4
Abiding, steadfast, firm, and sure, The teachings of the Word endure. Blest he who trusts this steadfast Word; His anchor holds in Christ, the Lord.
