The Word of God

Listen from:
“From a child thou past known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.” 2 Tim. 3:1515And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. (2 Timothy 3:15).
How good to know in early days,
God’s Holy Book;
Where wisdom tunes the soul to praise,
As there you look.
As Israel, by the Red Sea flood,
Did loudly sing;
They praised the glory of their
God,
Their Saviour-King.
So may the child who trusts in Christ,
The Saviour, Lord,
Rejoice in God’s great gifts unpriced,
Known by God’s Word.
There, told. in simplest English tongue
That all can read,
Is all that faith requires among
Earth’s loss and need.
Amongst God’s gifts is not the least—
Salvation given—
A seat at God’s eternal feast,
A place in heaven.
Soon from this earth forever freed,
Eternal rest
They’ll share who now by faith do read
God’s Word, most blest.
