His Way in His Word

“God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause His face to shine upon us; Selah.  That Thy way may be known upon earth, Thy saving health among all nations” (Psalm 67:1,2).  “Train up a child in the way he should go… Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge, that I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?” (Proverbs 22:6,19-21).  “If ye continue in My word, then are ye My disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John  8:31,32). 

May God in mercy cause His face
To shine on us to show His way,
Enlightened by His Word of grace
To show His saving health today.

May we who have His Word of truth
Make known His way to every nation,
And thus equip and train our youth
To shine the truth of His salvation.

We have His word of certainty
Which God uniquely certified
With truth confirmed by prophecy,
And thus His way is verified.

We have the answer with the proof
That souls who seek the Lord desire. 
Though mockers choose to stand aloof,
Their scorn shall vanish in the fire.

His Way and Word display the path
Which leads us to His saving health,
Which saves ours souls from endless wrath,
And blesses with eternal wealth.

O Lord, how greatly we rejoice
To know Your Word is surely true!  
Your grace extends this blissful choice
That makes us free by trusting You.
