LyicsWhat glory gilds the sacred page,
Majestic like the sun!
It gives a light to ev'ry age,
It gives, but borrows none.
The hand that gave it still supplies
His gracious light and heat;
His truths upon the nations rise,
They rise, but never set.
Let everlasting thanks be thine,
For such a bright display,
As makes the world of darkness shine
With beams of heav'nly day.
My soul rejoices to pursue
The paths of truth and love;
Till glory breaks upon my view
In brighter worlds above.
