Mine to chide me when I rove, Mine to show a Saviour s love; Mine art thou to guide my feet, Mine to judge, condemn, acquit. Mine to comfort in distress, If the Holy Spirit bless; Mine to show by living faith Man can triumph over death. Mine to tell of joys to come, And the rebel sinner s doom; Holy Bible, book divine, Precious treasure, thou art mine. John Burton

The Word of God II Timothy 3:16-17 Jeremiah 15:16 (Jer 15:16) Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts. (1Jn 5:3 and his commandments are not grievous. (Deu 29:29) The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law. (1Jn 2:27) But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. (2Ti 3:16) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, (2Pe 1:21) For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (Psa 119:89) LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. (Isa 40:8) the word of our God shall stand for ever. (2Ti 3:16-17) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. (Psa 119:105) NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. (Psa 37:23) The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: (Psa 119:133) Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. (Rom 15:4) For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. (1Co 10:11) Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. (Pro 29:18) Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. (Hos 4:6) My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
The Word of God The word of our God shall stand forever. Isaiah 40:8 Though heart grows faint and spirits sink, By every wind of feeling blown; Though faith itself may seem to fail, I rest upon Thy word alone, That word of power that framed the worlds, Unfailing, changeless, strong, and sure. Though heaven and earth should pass away, What Thou hast spoken must endure. Is Thine arm shortened, Thine ear dulled? What Thou hast sworn hast Thou forgot? God of the everlasting years, All else may fail; Thou failest not. Against the foeman s fiery darts I wield anew the Spirit s sword, And answer every fresh assault With ever-fresh Thus saith the Lord. And, when some promised blessing seems Too great, too wonderful for me, I dare by faith to call it mine, With It is written all my plea. Mid shifting sands of doubt and fear This is the one foundation-stone; My soul hath cast her anchor here; I rest upon Thy word alone. Annie Johnson Flint
