LyicsBook of grace, and book of glory!
Gift of God to age and youth;
Wondrous in thy sacred story,
Bright, bright with truth.
Book of love! in accents tender,
Speaking unto such as we;
May it lead us, Lord, to render
All, all to thee.
Book of hope! the spirit, sighing,
Consolation finds in thee;
As it hears the Savior crying--
"Come, come to me."
Book of life! wehn we, reposing,
Bid farewell to friends we love,
Give us for the life then closing,
Life, life above.
