JOHN x. 35.

UPON the Word I rest,
Each pilgrim day;
This golden staff is best
For all the way.
What Jesus Christ hath spoken,
Cannot be broken!

Upon the Word I rest,
So strong, so sure,
So full of comfort blest,
So sweet, so pure!
The charter of salvation,
Faith's broad foundation.

Upon the Word I stand!
That cannot die!
Christ seals it in my hand,
He cannot lie!
The word that faileth never!
Abiding ever!

Chorus.
The Master hath said it! Rejoicing in this,
We ask not for sign or for token;
His word is enough for our confident bliss,--
'The Scripture cannot be broken!'

[The end]
