Thou “Word Incarnate,”
“truth so divine,”
Thou dost illumine
each path of mine.
Never a sorrow can e’er abide,
While in thy refuge in safety I hide.
O Holy Bible, truth so divine,
Treasure from Heaven,
I know thou art mine.
Thou “Bread of Heaven,”
sent from above,
“Gift of the Father,”
“message of love.”
“Stream by the wayside,”
sparkling and clear,
“Fountains of cleansing,”
in thee do appear.
O Holy Bible, truth so divine,
Treasure from Heaven,
I know thou art mine.
Thou art my “Wisdom,”
“Treasure” complete,
“Sweeter than honey,”
“lamp to my feet.”
Thou art my “Counsel,”
“Word of the Lord,”
Keeping thy precepts
brings blessèd reward.
O Holy Bible, truth so divine,
Treasure from Heaven,
I know thou art mine.
