Thy word, almighty Lord
Author: Montgomery Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 35 hymnals Scripture: 2 Peter 1:8 Lyrics: 1 Thy word, almighty Lord,
Where'er it enters in,

To slay the man of sin.

It bids confusion cease,
And changes envy, hatred, strife,
To love, and joy, and peace.

The gospel's glorious sound;
And all its fruits, from day to day,
Be in us and abound.

Shines through the darkness of our earthly way,
O'er fear and doubt, o'er black despair prevailing,
Guiding our steps to Thine eternal day.

Thou hast revealed Thy will to mortal men,
Speaking to saints, to prophets, kings, and sages,
Who wrote the message with immortal pen.
3 Undimmed by time, the Word is still revealing
To sinful men Thy justice and Thy grace;
And questing hearts that long for peace and healing
See Thy compassion in the Saviour's face.
4 To all the world the message Thou art sending,
To every land, to every race and clan;
And myriad tongues, in one great anthem blending,
Acclaim with joy Thy wondrous gift to man.

yet to each loving heart how near!

sheds on our path the glow of day;
Star of our hope, thy softened light
cheers the long watches of the night.
3 Our midnight is thy smile withdrawn,
our noontide is thy gracious dawn,
our rainbow arch thy mercy's sign;
all, save the clouds of sin, are thine.
3 Lord of all life, below, above,
whose light is truth, whose warmth is love,
before thy ever-blazing throne
we ask no lustre of our own.
4 Grant us thy truth to make us free,
and kindling hearts that burn for thee,
till all thy living altars claim
one holy light, one heavenly flame. Topics: God in majesty; Light Used With Tune: OMBERSLEY
