Let others boast of wealth or power

Author: Samuel Stennett Hymnal: SDAH1886 #181 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Let others boast of wealth or power, And glory in their pride; Thy word, O God, we value more Than all the world beside. 2 Here mines of knowledge, love, and joy Are open to our sight, The purest gold without alloy, And gems divinely bright. 3 The counsels of redeeming grace These sacred leaves unfold, And here the Saviour's lovely face Our raptured eyes behold. 4 Here light, descending from above, Directs our doubtful feet; Here promises of heavenly love Our ardent wishes meet.

There is an ancient, blessed book

Author: Anon. Hymnal: SDAH1886 #182 (1886) Lyrics: 1 There is an ancient, blessed book, Sent down from age to age; Admiring angels bend to look Upon its hallowed page. 2 Preserved by wondrous care and skill, For our instruction given, It speaks of God, and shows his will And points the way to heaven. 3 O let us seek for heavenly grace To hear and read aright! Till we behold the Saviour's face, And faith gives place to sight. Topics: Worship Holy Scriptures Tune Title: ORTONVILLE

How shall the young secure their hearts

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: SDAH1886 #183 (1886) 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 me all the day; And through the dangers of the night, A lamp to lead my way. 3 Thy precepts make me truly wise; I hate the sinner's road; I hate my own vain thoughts that rise, But love thy law, my God. 4 Thy word is everlasting truth; How pure is every page! That holy book shall guide my youth, And well support my age. Topics: Worship Holy Scriptures Tune Title: MAITLAND

Light of the world, shine on our souls

Author: Anon. Hymnal: SDAH1886 #184 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Light of the world, shine on our souls; Thy grace to us afford; And while we meet to learn thy truth, Be thou our teacher, Lord. 2 As once thou didst thy word expound To those that walked with thee, So teach us, Lord, to understand, And its blest fullness see; 3 Its richness, sweetness, power, and depth, Its holiness discern; Its joyful news of saving grace By blest experience learn. 4 Thou may thy word be dearer still, And studied more each day; And as it richly dwells within, Thyself in it display.

Let all the heathen writers join

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: SDAH1886 #185 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Let all the heathen writers join To form one perfect book: Great God, if once compared with thine, How mean their writings look! 2 Not the most perfect rules they gave Could show one sin forgiven, Nor lead a step beyond the grave; But thine conducts to heaven. 3 Yet men would fain be just with God By works their hands have wrought; But thy commands, exceeding broad, Extend to every thought. 4 Our faith, and love, and every grace Fall far below thy word; But perfect truth and righteousness Dwell only with the Lord.

Hail, sacred truth! whose piercing rays

Lamp of our feet, whereby we trace

Author: Barton Hymnal: SDAH1886 #187 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Lamp of our feet, whereby we trace Our path when wont to stray; Stream from the fount of heavenly 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, And radiant cloud by day; When waves would whelm our tossing bark, Our anchor and our stay; 4 Word of the everlasting 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.

Jesus, thy word is my delight

Author: William Hammond Hymnal: SDAH1886 #188 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, thy word is my delight, There grace and truth are seen; O could I study day and night, And meditate therein! 2 O Lamb of God, the book unseal, And to our hearts explain; Let all its life and spirit feel, And heavenly wisdom gain. 3 That thou for us didst live and die, Make known to us, dear Lord; To us the promises apply, Recorded in thy word.

What is the chaff, the word of man

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: SDAH1886 #189 (1886) Lyrics: 1 What is the chaff, the word of man, When set against the wheat? Can it a dying soul sustain Like that immortal meat? 2 Thy word, O God, with heavenly bread Thy children doth supply; And those who by thy word are fed, Their souls shall never die. 3 'Tis like a field where hidden lies The pearl of price unknown, And he indeed is truly wise When makes this pearl his own.

Almighty God, thy word is cast

Author: John Cawood Hymnal: SDAH1886 #190 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Almighty God, thy word is cast Like seed upon the ground; O let the dew of heaven descend, And shed its influence round. 2 Let not the foe of Christ and man This holy seed remove; May it take root in every heart, And grow in faith and love. 3 Let not this life's deceitful cares, Nor worldly wealth and joy, Nor scorching beam, nor stormy blast, The rising plant destroy. 4 Where'er the word of life is sown, A large increase bestow, That all who hear thy message, Lord, Its saving power may know.
