Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #310 (1899) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 A glory gilds the sacred page,
Majestic like the sun:
It gives a light to every age,
It gives, but borrows none.
2 The hand that gave it still supplies
The gracious light and heat;
His truths upon the nations rise,
They rise, but never set.
3 Let everlasting thanks be Thine,
For such a bright display,
As makes a world of darkness shine
With beams of heavenly day.
4 My soul rejoices to pursue
The steps of Him I love,
Till glory break upon my view
In brighter worlds above.
Amen. Topics: Bible; Church The Word; Gospel Excellency of; Holy Scriptures; Means of Grace; The Word Languages: English Tune Title: BOARDMAN
