All Scripture is
the very breath of God,
And by His Spirit
into words was breathed;
By godly men the words
were written down,
With all God’s fulness
unto man bequeathed.
It is the breath of God
as light to man,
With rays divine
man to illuminate;
It shines in darkness
and to man reveals
What is his truest need
and actual state.
It is the breath of God
as life to man,
Nature divine to man
it doth impart;
The dead it quickens
and regenerates,
Transforms the soul-life
and renews the heart.
It is the breath of God
as wisdom too,
Knowledge divine to man
it has to teach;
Th’ eternal purpose
of the Lord it shows,
And leadeth man God’s
final goal to reach.
It is the breath of God
as strength to man,
Power divine to man
it doth transmit,
Strength’ning the weak,
empowering the faint,
Enabling man God’s purpose
full to fit.
It is the breath of God
for us to breathe,
That as our portion
God we may enjoy;
Receiving it
by spirits exercised,
Our need is met,
His wealth we may employ.
