The Children's Hymnbook ‎#70

70. Holy Bible, Book Divine

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

2 Mine to shine upon the way;
Mine to guide me day by day;
Mine to show a Saviour's love,
Draw my heart to God above.

3 Mine to comfort in distress
If the Holy Spirit bless;
Mine to show by living faith
Man can triumph over death.

4 Mine to tell of joys to come,
Light and live beyond the tomb;
Holy Bible, book divine,
Precious treasure, thou art mine.

For young children:
Holy Bible, God's own Word,
In it God's own voice is heard.
Those who listen and obey
Will find Jesus and His way.
