Verse 1
Precious forever! O, wonderful words, Teach me the pathway of duty; Lead me beside the still waters of life, Flowing thru valleys of beauty.
Verse 2
Freely He offers their promise to all, "Come unto Me whosoever;" Sinners oppressed with a burden of woe, Drink of the bountiful river.
Verse 3
Wouldst thou refuse the sweet solace He gives In the midst of the sorrow? Wouldst thou go on in the darkness of sin, Longing for no bright tomorrow?
Chorus
Precious forever to you and to me, Words that our Savior has spoken, Bearing salvation far over the sea, Healing the hearts that are broken!
