The Interperter
William Cowper (1779) • English
Primary Scripture: Genesis 32:26
Verse 1
The Spirit breathes upon the word, and brings the truth to sight; precepts and promises afford a sanctifying light.
Verse 2
The hand that gave it still supplies the gracious light and heat; God's truths upon the nations rise: they rise, but never set.
Verse 3
Let everlasting thanks be thine for such a bright display, as makes a world of darkness shine with beams of heavenly day.
Verse 4
My soul rejoices to pursue the steps of One I love, till glory break upon my view in brighter worlds above.
