1 How precious is the book divine,
By inspiration giv'n!
Bright as a lamp, its doctrines shine
To guide our souls to heav'n.
2 It sweetly cheers our drooping hearts
In this dark vale of tears;
Life, light, and joy, it still imparts,
And quells our rising fears.
3 This lamp, thro' all the tedious night
Of life, shall guide our way,
Till we behold the clearer light
Of an eternal day.
