Hymnal: A Collection of Evangelical Hymns #LII (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: A Collection of Evangelical Hymns First Line: How precious is the book divine Lyrics: 1 How precious is the book divine,
By inspiration given!
Bright as a lamp its doctrines shine
To guide our souls to heaven.
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. Topics: Scripture Scripture: Psalm 119:105 Languages: English
The inspired Word a System of Knowledge and Joy
