"Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.... I have inclined mine heart to perform Thy statutes always, even unto the end" (Psalm 119:105,112). "My son... receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee.... that thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous" (Proverbs 2:1,20). "But thou, Bethlehem.... out of thee shall He come forth unto Me that is to be Ruler in Israel, whose goings forth have been of old, from everlasting.... He shall be great unto the ends of the earth. And this Man shall be the Peace" (Micah 5:2-5). "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord" (1 Corinthians 15:58).
How brightly shines the Word of God
Upon the path on which we tread.
There's not one statute that is flawed
In anything that God has said.
We are not left here without light
Like those who in the darkness grope.
We're walking in the way that's right
With all who in our Savior hope.
As Micah told the line and place
That prophesied our Savior's birth,
The future likewise we can trace,
When He shall reign in all the earth.
So may our faithfulness in increase
As we delight to meditate
Upon the Lord who is our Peace
Whose name, above all names, is great!
O Lord, we would be steadfast too,
Assured of the eternal gain,
In all the labor which we do
For Christ, which shall not be in vain!
