Holy Bible! Book divine!

by John Burton

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 219 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

Holy Bible! Book divine! Precious treasure, thou art mine! Mine to tell me whence I came; Mine to teach me what I am.

Verse 2

Mine to chide me when I rove; Mine to show a Savior’s love; Mine to guide my wayward feet; Mine to judge, condemn, acquit.

Verse 3

Mine to comfort in distress; If the Holy Spirit bless; Mine to show by living faith, Man can triumph over death.

Verse 4

Mine to tell of joys to come, In the saint's eternal home: O thou holy Book divine, Precious treasure, thou art mine! I win the strife.
