Thy Word the choicest rules imparts To keep the conscience clean. 2 'Tis, like the sun, a heavenly light, That guides us all the day; And through the dangers of the night A lamp to lead our way. 3 The starry heavens Thy rule obey, The earth maintains her place; And these Thy servants, night and day, Thy skill and power express. 4 But still Thy Law and Gospel, Lord, Have lessons more divine; Not earth stands firmer than Thy Word, Nor stars so nobly shine. 5 Thy Word is everlasting truth: How pure is every page! That holy Book shall guide our youth, And well support our age. Topics: Holy Ghost Works Regeneration; Word of God Used With Tune: LANCASTER

Deluded souls that dream of heaven

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 184 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Deluded souls that dream of heaven, And make their empty boast Of inward joys and sins forgiven, While they are slaves to lust! 2 Vain are our fancies' airy flights, If faith be cold and dead; None but a living power unites To Christ, the living Head; 3 A faith that changes all the heart, A faith that works by love; That bids all sinful joys depart, And lifts the thoughts above. 4 Faith must obey our Father’s will, As well as trust His grace: A pardoning God requires us still To perfect holiness.
