How precious is the Book divine
Hymnal: ELHL1918 #111 (1918) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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 Its light, descending from above,
Illumes this world so drear,
Displays a Savior's boundless love,
And brings His glories near.
And brings to view the matchless grace
Of a forgiving God.
3 It shows to man his wandering ways,
And where his feet have trod;
And brings to view the matchless grace
Of a forgiving God.
4 O'er all the straight and narrow way
Its radiant beams are cast;
A light whose never weary ray
Grows brightest at the last.
5 It sweetly cheers our drooping hearts
In this dark vale of tears;
Life, light, and joy it still imparts,
And quells our rising fears.
6 This lamp, through all the tedious night
Of life, shall guide our way,
Till we behold the clearer light
Of an eternal day. Topics: God's Word Languages: English
How precious is the Book divine
How shall the young secure their hearts
Hymnal: ELHL1918 #112 (1918) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How shall the young secure their hearts,
And guard their lives from sin?
Thy Word the choicest rules imparts
To keep the conscience clean.
2 'Tis like the sun, a heavenly light,
That guides us all the day;
And through the dangers of the night
A lamp to lead our way.
3 The starry heavens Thy rule obey,
The earth maintains her place;
And these Thy servants, night and day,
Thy skill and power express.
4 But still Thy Law and Gospel, Lord,
Have lessons more divine;
Not earth stands firmer than Thy Word,
Nor stars so nobly shine.
5 Thy Word is everlasting truth:
How pure is every page!
That holy Book shall guide our youth,
And well support our age. Topics: God's Word Languages: English
How shall the young secure their hearts
O Word of God Incarnate
Hymnal: ELHL1918 #113 (1918) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 O Word of God Incarnate,
O Wisdom from on high,
O Truth unchanged, unchanging,
O Light of our dark-sky;
We praise Thee for the radiance
That from the hallow'd page,
A lantern to our footsteps,
Shines on from age to age.
2 The Church from her dear Master
Received the gift divine,
And still that light she lifteth
O'er all the earth to shine.
It is the golden casket
Where gems of truth are stored,
It is the heaven-drawn picture
Of Christ, the living Word.
3 It floateth like a banner
Before God's host unfurled;
It shineth like a beacon
Above the darkling world;
It is the chart and compass
That o'er life's surging sea,
'Mid mists and rocks and quicksands,
Still guides, O Christ, to Thee.
4 Oh, make Thy Church, dear Savior,
A lamp of burnished gold,
To bear before the nations
Thy true light as of old;
O teach Thy wandering pilgrims
By this their path to trace,
Till, clouds and darkness ended,
They see Thee face to face. Topics: God's Word Languages: English
O Word of God Incarnate
The heavens declare Thy glory, Lord
Hymnal: ELHL1918 #114 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The heavens declare Thy glory, Lord,
In every star Thy wisdom shines;
But when our eyes behold Thy Word,
We read Thy Name in fairer lines.
2 The rolling sun, the changing light,
And nights and days, Thy power confess;
But the blest volume Thou didst write
Reveals Thy justice and Thy grace.
3 Thy Gospel-heralds dare not rest,
Till through the world Thy truth has run;
Till Christ has all the nations blest
That see the light, or feel the sun.
4 Great Sun of righteousness, arise;
Bless the dark world with heavenly light;
The Gospel makes the simple wise,
Thy laws are pure, thy judgments right.
5 Thy noblest wonders here we view,
In souls renewed, and sins forgiven;
Lord, cleanse my sins, our souls renew,
And make Thy Word our guide to heaven.

The heavens declare Thy glory, Lord
The Law of God is good and wise
Hymnal: ELHL1918 #115 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The Law of God is good and wise,
And sets His will before our eyes;
Shows us the way of righteousness,
And dooms to death when we transgress.
2 Its light of holiness imparts
The knowledge of our sinful hearts,
That we may see our lost estate,
And seek deliv'rance ere too late.
3 To those who help in Christ have found,
And would in works of love abound,
It shows what deeds are His delight,
And should be done as good and right.
4 When men the offered help disdain,
And willfully in sin remain,
Its terror in their ear resounds
And keeps their wickedness in bounds.
5 The Law is good; but since the fall
Its holiness condemns us all;
It dooms us for our sin to die,
And has no power to justify.
6 To Jesus we for refuge flee,
Who from the curse has set us free,
And humbly worship at His throne,
Saved by His grace through faith alone. Topics: God's Word Languages: English
The Law of God is good and wise
The Gospel shows the Father's grace
Hymnal: ELHL1918 #116 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The Gospel shows the Father's grace,
Who sent His Son to save our race;
Proclaims how Jesus lived and died
That we might thus be justified.
2 It sets the Lamb before our eyes
Who made th'atoning sacrifice,
And calls the souls with guilt oppressed
To come and find eternal rest.
3 It brings the Savior's righteousness
Our souls to robe in royal dress;
From all our guilt it brings release,
And gives the troubled conscience peace.
4 It is the power of God to save
From sin and Satan and the grave;
It works the faith which firmly clings
To all the treasures which it brings.
5 It bears to all the tidings glad,
And bids their hearts no more be sad:
The heavy-laden soul it cheers,
And banishes their guilty fears.
6 May we in faith its tidings learn,
Nor thanklessly its blessings spurn;
May we in faith its truth confess,
And praise the Lord our righteousness. Topics: God's Word Languages: English
The Gospel shows the Father's grace
Father of mercies, in Thy Word
Hymnal: ELHL1918 #117 (1918) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Father of mercies, in Thy Word
What endless glory shines!
Forever be Thy Name adored
For these celestial lines.
2 Here the Redeemer's welcome voice
Spreads heavenly peace around;
And life and everlasting joys
Attend the blissful sound.
3 O may these heavenly pages be
My ever dear delight;
And still new beauties may I see,
And still increasing light!
4 Divine Instructor, gracious Lord!
Be Thou forever near;
Teach me to love Thy sacred Word,
And view my Savior there. Topics: The Word and the Church Glory of the Word Languages: English
Father of mercies, in Thy Word
When Israel through the desert passed
Hymnal: ELHL1918 #118 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When Israel through the desert passed,
A fiery pillar went before,
To guide them through the dreary waste,
And lessen the fatigue they bore.
2 Such is Thy glorious Word, O God!
'Tis for our light and guidance given;
It sheds its luster all abroad,
And points the path to bliss and heaven.
3 It fills the soul with sweet delight,
And quickens its inactive powers;
It sets our wand'ring footsteps right,
Displays Thy love, and kindles ours.
4 Its promises rejoice our hearts;
Its doctrines are divinely true;
While highest wisdom it imparts,
It comforts and instructs us, too.
5 Ye favored lands, that have this Word,
Ye saints, who feel its saving power,
Unite your tongues to praise the Lord,
And His distinguished grace adore! Topics: God's Word Languages: English
When Israel through the desert passed
Lamp of our feet, whereby we trace
Hymnal: ELHL1918 #119 (1918) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lamp of our feet, whereby we trace
Our path, when wont to stray,
Stream from the fount of heav'nly grace,
Brook by the traveler's way.
2 Bread of our souls, whereon we feed,
True manna from on high;
Our guide and chart, wherein we read
Of realms beyond the sky:
3 Pillar of fire, through watches dark,
Or radiant cloud by day;
When waves would break our tossing bark,
Our anchor and our stay:
4 Word of the ever-living God,
Will of His glorious Son;
Without Thee how could earth be trod,
Or heaven itself be won?
5 Lord, grant us all aright to learn
The wisdom it imparts;
And to its heavenly teaching turn,
With simple, childlike hearts. Topics: God's Word Languages: English
Lamp of our feet, whereby we trace
We have a sure prophetic Word
Hymnal: ELHL1918 #120 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 We have a sure prophetic Word,
By inspiration of the Lord;
And though assailed on every hand,
Jehovah's Word shall ever stand.
2 By powers of empire banned and burned,
By pagan pride rejected, spurned,
The Word still stands the Christian's trust,
While haughty empires lie in dust.
3 Lo! what the Word in times of old
Of future days and deeds foretold,
Is all fulfilled, while ages roll,
As traced on the prophetic scroll.
4 Abiding, steadfast, firm, and sure,
The teachings of the Word endure:
Blest he who trusts this steadfast Word,
His anchor holds in Christ, the Lord. Topics: God's Word Languages: English
We have a sure prophetic Word
