Blessed Bible

There is an ancient, blessed book

Tune: ORTONVILLE
Published in 5 hymnals

Representative Text

1 There is an ancient, blessed book,
Sent down from age to age;
Admiring angels bend to look
Upon its hallowed page.

2 Preserved by wondrous care and skill,
For our instruction given,
It speaks of God, and shows his will
And points the way to heaven.

3 O let us seek for heavenly grace
To hear and read aright!
Till we behold the Saviour's face,
And faith gives place to sight.
