Hands opening a Bible


Holy Bible Book Divine


A Poem by J. Burton

 
 

Holy Bible, Book Divine!
Precious treasure, thou art mine!
Mine, to tell me whence I came;
Mine, to teach me what I am.


Mine, to chide me when I rove;
Mine, to show a Saviour's love;
Mine art thou, to guide my feet;
Mine, to judge, condemn, acquit.


Mine, to comfort in distress;
Mine, with promise sweet to bless;
Mine, to show by living faith;
Man can triumph over death.


Mine, to tell of joys to come;
Mine, to show the sinner's doom;
Holy Bible, Book Divine!
Precious treasure, thou art mine!
