Holy Bible, book divine,

Precious treasure, thou art mine;

Mine, to tell me whence I came;

Mine, to teach me what I am.

 

 

 

 

 

Mine, to chide me when I rove;

Mine, to show a Saviour’s love;

Mine Thou art to guard and

guide

Mine, to punish or reward.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mine to comfort in distress,

Suffering in this wilderness;

Mine to show by living faith,

Man can triumph over death.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mine to tell of joys to come,

Light and life beyond the tomb;

Holy Bible, book divine,

Precious treasure, thou art mine.
