Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15827 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: More joy than earth can e’er afford Lyrics: 1 More joy than earth can e’er afford,
Is found in God’s delightful Word;
Be it my study night and day,
My guide through all the lonely way.
2 Clothed with a majesty divine,
Its doctrines and its precepts shine;
Unbounded wisdom, truth and grace,
Appear in all its promises.
3 ’Tis here the Lord, as in a glass,
Displays the glories of His face;
He stoops from His imperial throne
And makes His great salvation known.
4 Then be His Word to all addressed;
Know that it makes us wise and blessed,
Till all the earth shall own His name,
And all His boundless love proclaim. Languages: English Tune Title: ROCKINGHAM
