1 How sure the Scriptures are!
God's vital, urgent word,
as true as steel, and far more sharp than any sword:
so deep and fine, at his control
they pierce where soul and spirit join.
2 They test each human thought,
refining like a fire;
they measure what we ought to do and to desire:
For God knows all - exposed it lies
before his eyes to whom we call.
3 Let those who hear his voice
confronting them today,
reject the tempting choice of doubting or delay:
For God speaks still- his word is clear,
so let us hear and do his will.
