1 How precious is the Book Divine,
By inspiration giv'n!
Bright as a lamp its doctrines shine
To guide our souls to heav'n,
Its light, descending from above
Our weary world to cheer,
Displays a Savior's boundless love
And brings His glories near.
2 It shows to man his wand'ring ways
And where his feet have trod,
And brings to view the matchless grace
Of a forgiving God
This lamp through all the dreary night
Of life shall guide our way
Till we behold the clearer light
Of an eternal day.
