Sweeter Day by Day

I own a price­less trea­sure

’Tis pre­cious to my heart

In time of joy or sor­row

A mes­sage ’twill im­part:

A glo­ry gilds its pag­es

And shines up­on the way

The dear old Book

Grows sweet­er day by day!

’Tis pre­cious to my heart

And a bless­ing ’twill im­part

It teach­es me of Him

Who leads the way;

And I love it more and more

As I read its pag­es o’er

For the dear old Book

Grows sweet­er day by day!

It tells me of a Sav­ior

Whose love is all di­vine

The gift of free sal­va­tion

And joys which may be mine;

And all His words of pro­mise

Which cheer me on the way

The dear old Book

Grows sweet­er day by day!

Its words of ho­ly coun­sel

Are like a guid­ing light

To turn my feet from ev­il

And point me to the right;

’Twill bless me on my jour­ney

Along the up­ward way

The dear old Book

Grows sweet­er day by day!
