Lyics

Holy Bible! book divine!

Precious treasure! thou art mine;

Mine to tell me whence I came;

Mine to teach me what I am;



Mine to chide me when I rove;

Mine to show a Saviour's love;

Mine thou art to guide and guard;

Mine to punish or reward;



Mine to comfort in distress,

Suffering in this wilderness;

Mine to show, by living faith,

Man can triumph over death;



Mine to tell of joys to come,

And the rebel sinner's doom:

O thou holy book divine!

Precious treasure, thou art mine!
