Author: John Fawcett, 1740-1817 Hymnal: Hymnal and Order of Service #210b (1901) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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 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.
Amen. Topics: The Word Languages: English Tune Title: MEDFIELD
