May the word, divinely bright,
Guide me in the heavenly way
When I err, direct me right,
Be my comfort night and day:
Precious book, may I explore,
Love and prize it more and more.
All its precepts may I choose,
Yield to its divine control,
Of its counsels none refuse,
Find them blessings to my soul:
Keep it ever near my side,
Make it my perpetual guide.
Aided by the Spirit’s power,
Let my soul enraptured view,
Mysteries unknown before,
Ever grateful, ever new:
Sacred Spirit, rise and shine,
On this volume all divine.
---Alternative verses---
All its precepts may I chuse,
Yield to its divine controul,
Of its counsels none refuse,
Find them blessings to my soul:
Keep it ever near my side,
Make it my perpetual guide.
