The Word of God

Author: Newton Meter: 8.7.4 Appears in 142 hymnals Topics: The Properties of the Scriptures First Line: Precious Bible! what a treasure Lyrics: 1 Precious Bible! what a treasure Does the word of God afford! All I want for life or pleasure, Food and medicine, shield and sword, Is revealed In Jehovah’s sacred word. 2 Food, to which the world’s a stranger, Here my hungry soul enjoys; Of excess there is no danger; Though it fills, it never cloys, While the Spirit To my heart its truth applies. 3 When my faith is faint and sickly, Or when Satan wounds my mind, Cordials to revive me quickly, Healing medicines, here I find, When my Jesus Shines therein into my mind. 4 In the hour of dark temptation, Satan cannot make me yield; For the word of consolation Is to me a mighty shield, While Jehovah Gives me faith the truth to wield. 5 [Vain his threats to overcome me, When in faith I take the sword; Then with ease I drive him from me; Satan trembles at the word, When my Helper Makes me strong in Christ my Lord.] 6 [Shall I envy, then, the miser, Doting on his golden store? Sure I am, or should be, wiser; I am rich, ’tis he is poor: Having Jesus, I have an immortal store.]
