LyicsLet others boast of wealth or power,
And glory in their pride;
Thy word, O God, we value more
Than all the world beside,
Than all the world beside.
Here mines of knowledge, love, and joy
Are open to our sight;
The purest gold, without alloy,
And gems divinely bright,
And gems divinely bright.
The counsels of redeeming grace
These sacred leaves unfold,
And here the Saviour's lovely face
Our raptured eyes behold,
Our raptured eyes behold.
Here light descending from above
Directs our doubtful feet;
Here promises of heav'nly love
Our ardent wishes meet,
Our ardent wishes meet.
Our num'rous griefs are here redress'd,
And all our wants supplied;
Naught we can ask to make us blest
Is in this book denied,
Is in this book denied.
For these inestimable gains,
That so enrich the mind,
Oh, may we search with eager pains,
Assured that we shall find,
Assured that we shall find.
