Author: John Fawcett Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #217 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How precious is the Book divine,
By inspiration giv'n!
Bright as a lamp its doctrines 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 through all the tedious night
Of life shall guide our way,
Till we behold the clearer light
Of an eternal day.
Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace The Word Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PETER
