Inspiration

How precious is the book divine

1

How precious is the book divineBy inspiration giv'n!Bright as a lamp its doctrines shine,To guide our souls to heav'n.

2

It sweetly cheers our drooping hearts,In this dark vale of tears;Life, light and joy it still imparts,And quells our rising fears.

3

This lamp through all the tedious nightOf life, shall guide our way,Till we behold the clearer lightOf an eternal day.
