There is an ancient, blessed book
1
There is an ancient, blessed book,
Sent down from age to age;
Admiring angels bend to look
Upon its hallowed page.
2
Preserved by wondrous care and skill,
For our instruction given,
It speaks of God, and shows his will,
And points the way to heaven.
3
O let us seek for heavenly grace
To hear and read aright!
Till we behold the Saviour's face,
And faith gives place to sight.
