Book Divine - John Fawcett

How precious is the Book divine

By inspiration given!

How precious is the Book divine

By inspiration given!

Bright as a lamp its doctrines shine,

To guide our souls to heaven.

O’er all the strait and narrow way

Its radiant beams are cast;

A light whose never-weary ray

Grows brighter at the last.

It sweetly cheers our drooping hearts,

In this dark vale of tears;

Life, light, and joy it still imparts,

And quells our rising fears.

This lamp, through all the darksome night

Of life, shall guide our way,

Till we behold the clearer light

Of an eternal day.

John Fawcett
