His Worthy Praise ‎#52

52. Holy Bible

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:
Holy Bible,
Pointing us onward and upward,
Blessed Guide Book,
Lighting the pathway each day;
Precious promise,
Never, no, never it faileth,
Holy Bible,
Ever our strength and our stay.

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;
Suffering in this wilderness;
Mine to show, by living faith,
Man can triumph over death. [Refrain]

4 Mine to tell of joys to come,
And the rebel sinner’s doom;
O thou holy Book divine,
Precious treasure, thou art mine. [Refrain]
