"Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him" (Proverbs 30:5). "And now, little children, abide in Him, that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.... When He shall appear, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as He is pure" (1 John 2:28, 3:2,3).
Every Word of God is pure,
So when we trust in Him and yield,
God will cause us to endure
As our purifying Shield.
The pure account of history,
Which witnesses have testified,
Was told before through prophecy,
By God's foreknowledge purified.
Thus purified by what God said
As day by day our Savior nears,
We look with confidence ahead:
To be like Him when He appears!
Let the Word of God proclaimed
So purify us as we learn,
That we may not be ashamed
When our Savior shall return.
