The Voice of Praise ‎#14

14. How precious is the book divine

1 How precious is the book divine,
By inspiration given!
Bright as a lamp, its doctrines shine
To guide our souls to heaven.

2 It sweetly cheers our drooping hearts,
In this dark vale of tears;
Life, light, and joy it still imparts,
And quells our rising fears.

3 This lamp, through all the tedious night
Of life, shall guide our way,
Till we behold the clearer light
Of an eternal day.
