Text: | The Sacred Book |
Author: | T. Kelly |
Tune: | HAMBURG |
1. I love the sacred book of God,
No other can its place supply;
It points me to the saints' abode,
And bids me from destruction fly.
2. Sweet book! in thee my eyes discern
The image of my absent Lord;
From thy instructive page I learn
The joys his presence will afford.
3. But while I'm here, thou shalt supply
His place, and tell me of his love;
I'll read with faith's discerning eye,
And thus partake of joys above.
