H. W. Baker (296/413) -- Hymns and Spiritual Songs

H. W. Baker LORD, Thy Word abideth, And our footsteps guideth; Who its truth believeth Light and joy receiveth. 2 When our foes are near us, Then Thy Word doth cheer us, Word of consolation, Message of salvation. 3 When the storms are o’er us, And dark clouds before us, Then its light directeth, And our way protecteth. 4 Who can tell the pleasure, Who recount the treasure, By Thy Word imparted To the simple-hearted? 5 Word of mercy, giving Succour to the living; Word of life, supplying Comfort to the dying! 6 O that we discerning Its most holy learning, Lord, may love and fear Thee, Evermore be near Thee.
