A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) ‎#878

878. The Scripture

1 Say, Christian, would’st thou thrive
In knowledge of thy Lord?
Against no Scripture ever strive,
But tremble at his word.

2 Revere the sacred page;
To injure any part
Betrays, with blind and feeble rage,
A hard and haughty heart.

3 If aught there dark appear,
Bewail thy want of sight;
No imperfection can be there,
For all God’s words are right.

4 The Scriptures and the Lord
Bear one tremendous name;
The written and the incarnate Word
In all things are the same.
