and our footsteps guiding,
gives us joy for ever,
binds us all together.
2 Who can tell the pleasure,
who recount the treasure,
by your word imparted
to the simple-hearted?
3 Word of mercy, giving
nourishment for living;
word of life, supplying
comfort to the dying.
4 O that we, discerning
its most holy learning,
Lord, may love and fear you,
evermore be near you. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:22-25 Used With Tune: RAVENSHAW
Lord, your word abiding
