Lyics

HOW precious is the book divine,

By inspiration given!

Bright as a lamp it precepts shine,

To guide our souls to heaven.



It sweetly cheers our drooping hearts,

In this dark vale of tears:

Life, light, and joy, it still imparts,

And quells our rising fears.



This lamp through all the tedious night

Of life shall guide our way:

Till we behold the clearer light

Of an eternal day.
