Lyics

HOLY Bible, thou art ours--

Ours, with all thy heavenly powers:

Ours to teach us whence we came--

Ours to lead us to the Lamb.



Ours to chide us when we rove--

Lead us back and make us love:

Thou art ours to guide our feet--

Ours to judge, condemn, acquit.



Ours to comfort in distress;

Still our fears, support and bless:

Ours to show, by living faith,

Man can triumph over death.



Ours to tell of joys to come,

And disclose a heavenly home:

O thou precious book of God!

We are saved by Jesus' blood.
