Thy Word Is Very Pure

Great and eternal Lord,
How pure beyond compare
Is thy most holy, precious word!
How wise its counsels are!

Thy word is doctrine great;
Thy word is precept just;
Thy word is promises most sweet,
With humble faith I trust.

"Thy word is very pure,"
And everlasting too;
From age to age it shall endure,
And yet be ever new!
—by George Wyard, 19th century
