Holy Bible, Book Divine

John Burton (1803) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 23

Verse 1

Holy Bible, book divine, Precious treasure, thou art mine; Mine to tell me whence I came, Mine to teach me what I am:

Verse 2

Mine to chide me when I rove; Mine to show a Savior's love; Mine thou art to guide and guard; Mine to punish or reward;

Verse 3

Mine to comfort in distress, Suffering in this wilderness; Mine to show by living faith, Man can triumph over death;

Verse 4

Mine to tell of joys to come, And the rebel sinner's doom; O thou holy book divine, Precious treasure, thou art mine.
