LyicsHOLY 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.
