Precious Bible! What a Store

Precious Bi­ble! what a store

For the sons of men t’ex­plore;

Precious Christ! it speaks of Thee

Give us eyes Thy­self to see.

Precious Bi­ble! what a friend

All my foot­steps to at­tend;

All my wants it can sup­ply

For it brings the Sav­ior nigh.

Precious Bi­ble

what a field!

Precious fruits its fur­rows yield;

Wide ex­tent and fer­tile ground

Verdant pas­tures here are found.

Precious Bi­ble

what a mine!

Full of pro­mis­es di­vine;

I would all Thy wealth ex­plore

And Thy au­thor

God

ad­ore.
