Word of Witness


"I rejoice at Thy Word, as one that findeth great spoil… Great peace have they which love Thy law… LORD, I have hoped for Thy salvation" (Psalm 119:162,165,166).  "Hearken unto Me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of My mouth" (Proverbs 7:24).  "They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy… Salvation is of the LORD" (Jonah 2:8,9).  "Jesus said… Ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven… What need we any further witnesses?" (Mark 14:62,63). 

How rightly now may we rejoice
Like those who find the victor's spoil
And shout with a triumphant voice
When peace is won on hard-fought soil.

Our hope is only in the Lord
Who has obtained for us salvation;
It surely wasn't by our sword
That we were saved from condemnation. 

The Lord has called us to be wise,
Attending to the words He gave,
Forsaking not the truth for lies
Of vanities that cannot save. 

O Lord, we have no further need
Beyond Your Word of witness heard.
Let sinners tremble and take heed:
You'll come as promised in Your Word.
