The Book

Author: Mrs. J. M. Hunter Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8462 First Line: There is a book, a book more blest Refrain First Line: O Book of life! O Book divine! Lyrics: 1 There is a book, a book more blest, Than all the books by earth possessed; Its truth and precepts e’er abide, It is the Christian’s only guide. Refrain: O Book of life! O Book divine! How brightly thy dear pages shine! Thou pointest out the heav’nly way That leads to God’s eternal day. 2 That precious Book my mother read, Accepting every word it said; And thru it she has reached the land, Where saints abide at God’s right hand. [Refrain] 3 ’Twas father’s compass and his chart, He stored its teachings in his heart; And when he came to death’s dark vale, It was the light which did not fail. [Refrain] 4 This Book shall be my comfort, too, Till life’s brief journey here is thru; And then, up there, I will accord My praise to God for His dear Word. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [There is a book, a book more blest]
