     1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. 2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. 3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. 4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.

     5 And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.(KJV)

1. Speak, O Lord, Thy servant heareth, 
To Thy Word I now give heed; 
Life and spirit Thy Word beareth, 
All Thy Word is true indeed. 
Death’s dread power in me is rife; 
Jesus, may Thy Word of Life 
Fill my soul with love’s strong fervor 
That I cling to Thee forever. 

2. Oh, what blessing to be near Thee 
And to hearken to Thy voice! 
May I ever love and fear Thee 
That Thy Word may be my choice! 
Oft were hardened sinners, Lord, 
Struck with terror by Thy Word; 
But to him who for sin grieveth 
Comfort sweet and hope it giveth. 

3. Lord, Thy words are waters living 
Where I quench my thirsty need; 
Lord, Thy words are bread life-giving, 
On Thy words my Soul doth feed. 
Lord, Thy words shall be my light 
Through death’s vale and dreary night; 
Yea, they are my sword prevailing 
And my cup of joy unfailing. 

4. Precious Jesus, I beseech Thee, 
May Thy words take root in me; 
May this gift from heaven enrich me 
So that I bear fruit for Thee! 
Take them never from my heart 
Till I see Thee as Thou art, 
When in heavenly bliss and glory 
I shall greet Thee and adore Thee.
