How blest are they
who hear God’s Word
And keep and heed
what they have heard!
They wisdom daily gather;
Their light shines brighter day by day,
And while they tread life’s weary way,
They have the oil of gladness
To soothe their pain and sadness.
God’s Word a treasure is to me,
Through sorrow’s night
my sun shall be,
The shield of faith in battle.
The Father’s hand
hath written there
My title as His child and heir,
“The kingdom’s thine forever.”
That promise faileth never.
Today I was my Savior’s guest,
My soul was here so richly blest,
The Bread of Life receiving.
Oh, may thereby my faith prevail,
So that its fruits shall never fail
Till my account is given
Before the throne in Heaven!
