Blessed Bible, how I love it

1Blessed Bible, how I love it!
How it doth my bosom cheer!
What hath earth like this to give me?
O, what stores of wealth are here!

2'T is a fountain ever springing,
Where the weary may obtain
Water for the thirst of blessing,
That it may not thirst again.

3'T is a chart that never faileth,
One which God to us hath given;
And though oft the storm assaileth,
It will guide you safe to heaven.

4'T is a pearl of price exceeding
All the gems in ocean found;
And, like good precepts feeding,
In thy grace thou art abound.
