Isaiah 40:1

• [Isa 40:1] Comfort, Comfort Ye My People

  Comfort, comfort ye My people, Speak ye peace, thus saith our God; Comfort those who sit in darkness, Mourning ’neath their sorrow’s load; Speak ye to Jerusalem Of the peace that waits for them; Tell her that her sins I cover, And her warfare now is over. For the herald’s voice is crying In the desert far and near, Bidding all men to repentance, Since the kingdom now is here. O that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way! Let the valleys rise to meet Him, And the hills bow down to greet Him. Yea, her sins our God will pardon, Blotting out each dark misdeed; All that well deserved His anger He will no more see nor heed. She has suffered many a day, Now her griefs have passed away, God will change her pining sadness Into ever springing gladness. Make ye straight what long was crooked, Make the rougher places plain: Let your hearts be true and humble, As befits His holy reign, For the glory of the Lord Now o’er the earth is shed abroad, And all flesh shall see the token That His Word is never broken.

Isaiah 40:8

• [Isa 40:8] Bible Stands, The

  The Bible stands like a rock undaunted ’Mid the raging storms of time; Its pages burn with the truth eternal, And they glow with a light sublime. Refrain The Bible stands though the hills may tumble, It will firmly stand when the earth shall crumble; I will plant my feet on its firm foundation, For the Bible stands. The Bible stands like a mountain towering Far above the works of men; Its truth by none ever was refuted, And destroy it they never can. Refrain The Bible stands and it will forever, When the world has passed away; By inspiration it has been given, All its precepts I will obey. Refrain The Bible stands every test we give it, For its Author is divine; By grace alone I expect to live it, And to prove and to make it mine. Refrain

• [Isa 40:8] Old Book Stands, The

  From the Word of God light is shining brightly out O’er life’s ocean, tempest driv’n, Guiding past the rocks and the hidden shoals of doubt To the blissful port of Heav’n. Refrain The old Book stands! O yes, it stands! Firm as a rock ’mid shifting sands! Billows may run high, tempests sweep the sky; Firmly the old Book stands! All its promises are more precious, far, than gold, Or than pearls from deepest sea; “Whosoever will” is the truth it doth unfold, Precious truth for you and me. Refrain In this precious Book is the dear old story told, Of the Savior and His love; And with joy we read of the streets of purest gold, The Jerusalem above. Refrain Precious Book of life, let us treasure each command, Heeding every precept giv’n, Till the strife is o’er and victorious we stand With the blood washed throng in Heav’n. Refrain
