How Precious Is the Book Divine
Author: J. Fawcett Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #153 (1929) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Means of Grace The Scriptures Lyrics: 1. How precious is the Book divine,
By inspiration giv'n!
Bright as a lamp its precepts shine,
To guide our souls to heav'n.
2. It sweetly cheers our drooping hearts,
In this dark vale of tears;
Life, light, and joy it still imparts,
And quells our rising fears.
3. This lamp, thro' all the tedious night
Of life, shall guide our way,
Till we behold the clearer light
Of an eternal day. Languages: English Tune Title: WARWICK
How Precious Is the Book Divine
Thy Word, O Lord, Like Gentle Dews
Author: C. B. Garve Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #154 (1929) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Means of Grace The Scriptures Lyrics: 1. Thy Word, O Lord, like gentle dews,
Falls soft on hearts that pine;
Lord, to Thy garden ne'er refuse
This heav'nly balm of Thine.
Watered by Thee, let ev'ry tree
Forth blossom to Thy praise,
By grace of Thine bear fruit divine,
Through all the coming days.
2. Thy Word is like a flaming sword,
A wedge that cleaveth stone;
Keen as a fire, so burns Thy Word,
And pierceth flesh and bone.
Let it go forth o'er all the earth,
To cleanse our hearts within.
To show Thy pow'r in Satan's hour
And break the might of sin.
3. Thy Word, a wondrous guiding star,
On pilgrim hearts doth rise,
Leads those to God who dwell afar,
And makes the simple wise.
Let not its light e'er sink in night;
In ev'ry spirit shine,
That none may miss heav'n's final bliss,
Led by Thy light divine. Languages: English Tune Title: JEG SER DIG SODE LAM

For I am thy God, I will still give thee aid;

Upheld by My gracious, omnipotent hand,
Upheld by My gracious, omnipotent hand.
3. "When thro' the deep waters, I call thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow,
For I will be with thee thy trials to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress,

My grace all sufficient shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee, I only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine,
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.

I will not, I will not desert to His foes;
That soul, tho' all hell should endeavor to shake,
I'll never, no never, no never forsake!
I'll never, no never, no never forsake!"

The Spirit Breathes Upon the Word
Author: W. Cowper Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #157 (1929) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Means of Grace The Scriptures Lyrics: 1. The Spirit breathes upon the Word,
And brings the truth to sight;
Precepts and promises afford
A sanctifying light,

Majestic, like the sun:
It gives a light to ev'ry age;
It gives, but borrows none,
It gives, but borrows none.

The gracious light and heat;
His truths upon the nations rise;
They rise, but never set,
They rise, but never set.

For such a bright display,
As makes a world of darkness shine
With beams of heav'nly day,
With beams of heav'nly day.
5. My soul rejoices to pursue
The steps of Him I love,
Till glory breaks upon my view
In brighter worlds above,
In brighter worlds above.

Author: Edwin Hodder Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #159 (1929) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Means of Grace The Scriptures Lyrics: 1. Thy Word is like a garden, Lord,

Are hidden in the mighty depths
For ev'ry searcher there.

And make his pathway bright.

Where soldiers may repair,
And find, for life's long battle-day,
All needful weapons there.

May I explore the mine,
May I its fragrant flowers glean,
May light upon me shine!
O may I find my armor there:
Thy Word my trusty sword,
I'll learn to fight with ev'ry foe
The battle of the Lord.

Nor from the promise of His grace,
Blots out His children's name.

Shall Thy salvation come;
And num'rous households meet at last
In one eternal home.

While the lambs Thy bosom share.

Fold them in Thy gracious arm:
There, we know, Thy word believing,
Only there secure from harm.

Let them be the lion's prey;
Let Thy tenderness, so loving,
Keep them thro' life's dang'rous way,
4. Then, within Thy fold eternal,
Let them find a resting-place,
Feed in pastures ever vernal,
Drink the rivers of Thy grace.

Lie beyond that--"Till He come."

Enter on their rest above,
Seems the earth so poor and vast,
All our life-joy over cast?

Drink the wine, and break the bread;
Sweet memorials,--till the Lord
Call us round His heav'nly board;
Some from earth, from glory some,
Severed only--"Till He come." Languages: English Tune Title: RELIANCE

Whisp'ring words of peace to cheer us,
Ev'ry doubt and fear remove,
Ev'ry doubt and fear remove.

Of Thy life and death of woe;
And, with hopes of endless glory,
Wean our hearts from all below,
Wean our hearts from all below. Languages: English Tune Title: LIND

My bread from heav'n shall be;
Thy testamental cup I take,
And thus remember Thee,
And thus remember Thee.

Or there Thy conflict see,
Thine agony and bloody sweat,
And not remember Thee,
And not remember Thee.

And rest on Calvary,
O lamb of God, my Sacrifice!
I must remember Thee,
I must remember Thee.
5. And when these failing lips grow dumb,
And mind and mem'ry flee,
When Thou shalt in Thy kingdom come,
Then, Lord, remember me,
Then, Lord, remember me!
