Book of grace and book of glory,
Gift of God to age and youth,
|:Wondrous is thy sacred story,
Bright, bright with truth;
:|
Book of love in accents tender,
Speaking unto such as we;
|:May it lead us, Lord, to render
All, all to Thee;
:|
Book of hope! the spirit, sighing,
Sweetest comfort finds in thee,
|:As it hears the Savior crying,
“Come, come to Me!”
:|
Book of peace! When nights of sorrow
Fall upon us drearily,
|:Thou wilt bring a shining morrow,
Full, full of Thee.
:|
Book of life! when we reposing,
Bid farewell to friends we love,
|:Give us, for the life then closing,
Life, life above;
