143. Search the Scriptures

1 Search the Scriptures daily
For your daily need,
On their precious manna
Hungry souls may feed;
For each hour’s enriching
Shines a starry gem,
Some sweet promise–find it,
In truth’s diadem.

Refrain:
Search the Scriptures daily,
Written for all, written for you;
Search the Scriptures daily,
God’s own word so true.

2 Search the Scriptures daily,
For they testify
Of our Lord and Saviour,
How he came to die;
Of his resurrection,
Of his life above,
Of his great salvation,
And his mighty love. [Refrain]

3 Search the Scriptures daily
With a humble pray’r,
That the Holy Spirit
Guide your searchings there;
If his light illumine
Ev’ry page we turn,
What ennobling lessons
We shall surely learn. [Refrain]
