1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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