1 How sure the Scriptures are! God's vital, urgent word,
as true as steel, and far more sharp than any sword:
so deep and fine, at his control
they pierce where soul and spirit join.

2 They test each human thought, refining like a fire;
they measure what we ought to do and to desire:
For God know all--exposed it lies
before his eyes to whom we call.

3 Let those who hear his voice confronting them today,
reject the tempting choice of doubting or delay:
For God speaks still--his word is clear,
so let us hear and do his will!
