Hymnal: The New Sabbath School Hosanna #116b (1870) Lyrics: 1 Book of grace, and book of glory!
Gift of God to age and youth;
Wondrous is thy sacred story,--
Bright, bright with truth.
Wondrous is thy sacred story,--
Bright, bright with truth.
2 Book of love! in accents tender,
Speaking unto such as we;
May it lead us, Lord, to render
All, all to thee.
3 Book of hope! the spirit sighing,
Consolation finds in thee;
As it hears the Saviour crying,
"Come, come to me."
4 Book of peace! when nights of sorrow
Fall upon us drearily.
Thou wilt bring a shining morrow,
Full, full of thee.
5 Book of life! when we, reposing,
Bid farewell to friends we love,
Give us, for the life then closing,
Life, life above. Tune Title: BOOK OF GRACE
Book of grace, and book of glory!
