The Majestic Hymnal, number two ‎#335

335. The Precious Book Divine

1 How precious is the Book Divine,
By inspiration giv'n!
Bright as a lamp its precepts shine,
To guide my soul to heav'n.

Chorus:
Holy Book divine!
Precious treasure mine!
Lamp to my feet and a light to my way
To guide me safely home.

2 It sweetly cheers my drooping heart,
In this dark vale of tears;
Light to my life it still imparts,
And quells my rising fears. [Chorus]

3 This lamp, thro' all the tedious night
Of life, shall guide our way,
Till I behold the clearer light
Of an eternal day. [Chorus]
