There is a book that all may read,

by Johnkeble (1792–1866)

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 92 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

There is a book that all may read, Which heavenly truth imparts; And all the lore its scholars need, Pure eyes and Christian hearts.

Verse 2

The works of God above, below, Within us, and around, Are pages in that book, to show How God Himself is found.

Verse 3

The glorious sky, embracing all, Is like the Maker’s love, Wherewith encompassed, great and small In peace and order move.

Verse 4

The dew of Heaven is like Thy grace, It steals in silence down; But where it falls, the favored place By richest fruits is known.

Verse 5

Thou, who hast given me eyes to see, And love for what is fair, Give me a heart to find out Thee, And read Thee everywhere.
