     14 And when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of the LORD, Hilkiah the priest found a book of the law of the LORD given by Moses. 15 And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan. 16 And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and brought the king word back again, saying, All that was committed to thy servants, they do it. 17 And they have gathered together the money that was found in the house of the LORD, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and to the hand of the workmen. 18 Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath given me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king. 19 And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he rent his clothes. 20 And the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king’s, saying, 21 Go, inquire of the LORD for me, and for them that are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found: for great is the wrath of the LORD that is poured out upon us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD, to do after all that is written in this book.(KJV)

1. We have a sure prophetic Word 
By inspiration of the Lord; 
And though assailed on every hand, 
Jehovah’s Word shall ever stand. 

2. By powers of empire banned and burned, 
By pagan pride rejected, spurned, 
The Word still stands the Christian’s trust 
While haughty empires lie in dust. 

3. Lo, what the Word in times of old 
Of future days and deeds foretold 
Is all fulfilled while ages roll, 
As traced on the prophetic scroll. 

4. Abiding, steadfast, firm, and sure, 
The teachings of the Word endure. 
Blest he who trusts this steadfast Word; 
His anchor holds in Christ, the Lord.
