“Holy Bible, Book Divine”


 
A hymn written by J. Burton

(1)

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

(2)

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.

(3)

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

(4)

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