John Burton

Holy Bible, book Divine,

Precious treasure, thou art mine;

Mine to tell me whence I came;

Mine to teach me what I am.

 

Mine to chide me when I rove; 

Mine to show a Savior’s love;

Mine art thou to guide my feet;

Mine to judge, condemn, acquit.

 

Mine to comfort in distress;

If the Holy Spirit bless;

Mine to show, by living faith,

Man can triumph over death.

 

Mine to tell of joys to come,

And the rebel sinner’s doom;

Holy Bible, book Divine,

Precious treasure, thou art mine.
