8215. Beautiful Bible

1 Beautiful Bible, herald of mercy!
Beautiful bible, message of love!
Pointing the way to the heavenly city,
Guiding our steps to the kingdom above.

Refrain:
Beautiful Bible! wonderful Bible!
Word of the loving Father above;
Radiant with light as the sun in the heavens,
Sweet with the story of Christ and His love.

2 Beautiful Bible! rich are thy treasures,
Bright are thy pearls of wisdom and truth;
Strength of our hearts mid earth’s trials and conflicts,
Comfort of age and the guard of our youth. [Refrain]

3 Beautiful Bible! lighting the pathway,
Leading from earth to Heaven above;
Lamp of our feet to illumine the darkness,
Till we shall enter God’s kingdom of love. [Refrain]
