The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#80

80. There is a book that all may read

1 There is a book that all may read,
Which heavenly truth imparts;
And all the lore its scholars need,
And all the lore its scholars need,
Pure eyes and Christian hearts.

2 The works of God above, below,
Within us, and around,
Are pages in that book, to show
How God himself is found.

3 The glorious sky, embracing all,
Is like the Maker's love,
Wherewith encompassed, great and small,
In peace and order move.

4 The dew of heaven is like thy grace,
It steals in silence down;
But where it falls, the favored place
By richest fruits is known.

5 Thou who has given me eyes to see,
And love for what is fair,
Give me a heart to find out thee,
And read thee everywhere.
