548. How sure the scriptures are!

Author: Christopher Idle

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!
