How Precious Is the Book Divine

Author: John Fawcett, 1740-1817 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #284 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How precious is the Book divine, By inspiration giv'n! Bright as a lamp its doctrines shine To guide our souls to heav'n. 2 Its light, descending from above Our gloomy world to cheer, Displays a Savior's boundless love And brings his glories near. 3 It shows to us our wand'ring ways And where our feet have trod But brings to view the matchless grace Of a forgiving God. 4 This lamp through all the dreary night Of life shall guide our way Till we behold the clearer light Of an eternal day.

How Precious Is the Book Divine

Author: John Fawcett Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #285 (1941) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How precious is the Book Divine, By inspiration giv'n! Bright as a lamp its doctrines shine To guide our souls to heav'n. 2 It's light, descending from above Our gloomy world to cheer, Displays a Savior's boundless love And brings His glories near. 3 It shows to man his wand'ring ways And where his feet have trod, And brings to view the matchless grace Of a forgiving God. 4 O'er all the straight and narrow way Its radiant beams are cast; A light whose never weary ray Grows brightest at the last. 5 It sweetly cheers our drooping hearts In this dark vale of tears. Life, light, and joy it still imparts And quells our rising fears. 6 This lamp through all the tedious night Of life shall guide our way Till we behold the clearer light Of an eternal day. Amen.
