How precious is the book divine
1
How precious is the book divineBy inspiration given!Bright as a lamp its doctrines shine,To guide our souls to heaven.
2
It sweetly cheers our drooping heartsIn this dark vale of tears,And life and light and joy imparts,To banish all our fears.
3
This lamp, through all the tedious nightOf life, shall guide our way,Till we behold the clearer lightOf an eternal day.
