Century follows century - there it stands.
Empires rise and fall and are forgotten - there it stands.
Kings are crowned and uncrowned - there it stands.
Despised and burned and torn to pieces - there it stands.
Unbelief abandons it - there it stands.
Atheists rail against it - there it stands.
Critics deny its claim to inspiration - there it stands.
Youth calls for a beacon - there it stands.
Sorrow cries for consolation - there it stands.
Weakness searches for strength - there it stands.
Old age looks for an upholding staff - there it stands.
The hungry soul begs for bread - there it stands.
Do the lost seek salvation? - there it stands!
“All flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: but the word of the Lord endureth forever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you” (1 Peter 1:24-2524For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. (1 Peter 1:24‑25)).
