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.
