162. 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.

Chorus:
Holy Bible, Book divine,
Precious treasure, thou art mine;
O thou holy Book divine,
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. [Chorus]

3 Mine to comfort in distress,
Suff'ring in this wilderness,
Mine to show, by living faith,
Man can triumph over death. [Chorus]

4 Mine to tell of joys to come,
And the rebel sinner's doom:
O thou holy Book divine,
Precious treasure, thou art men. [Chorus]
