Author: John Fawcett Hymnal: Laudes Domini #105 (1890) First Line: How precious is the book divine Lyrics: 1 How precious is the book divine,
By inspiration given!
Bright as a lamp its doctrines shine,
To guide our souls to heaven.
2 O'er all the strait and narrow way
Its radiant beams are east;
A light whose never weary ray
Grow brightest at the last.
3 It sweetly cheers our drooping hearts,
In this vale of tears;
Life, light, and joy, it still imparts,
And quells our rising fears.
4 This lamp, through all the tedious night
Of life, shall guide our way,
Till we behold a clearer light
Of an eternal day. Topics: The Scriptures; Bible; Inspiration; Bible; Inspiration Languages: English Tune Title: KNOX
