How precious is the book divine
By 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 night
Of life, shall guide our way,
Till we behold the clearer light
Of an eternal day.
