The Great Awakening ‎#50

50. Holy Bible, book divine

1 Holy Bible, Book divine,
Precious treasure, thou art mine;
Mine to tell me whence I came,
Mine to teach me what I am.

Refrain:
Precious, precious,
Precious treasure, thou art mine.

2 Mine to chide me when I rove,
Mine to show a Savior’s love;
Mine thou art to guide and guard;
Mine to punish or reward. [Refrain]

3 Mine to comfort in distress,
If the Holy Spirit bless;
Mine to show by living faith,
Man can triumph over death. [Refrain]
