Words

Holy Bible! book divine!Precious treasure, thou art mine!Mine to tell me whence I came;Mine to teach me what I am;

Mine to chide me when I rove;Mine to show a Saviour's love;Mine art thou to guide my feet;Mine to judge, condemn, acquit;

Mine to comfort in distress,If the Holy Spirit bless;Mine to show by living faith,Man can triumph over death;

Mine to tell of joys to come,And the rebel sinner's doom;O thou holy book divine!Precious treasure, thou art mine!
