The Scripture Cannot be Broken

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 !'
