“Thy word where found and I did eat them.” -Jer. 15:16
1 The Bible everlasting book!
Who knows thy deep secrets?
Your beginning on earth who knows?
And who can know Thy end?
2 The secrets of the God of heaven,
Ambassador from heaven;
The sword that kill’d the sting of death,
God’s own image divine.
3 mf A book indeed among thousands,
A book of ancient days;
Thou made salvation way so plain
To all mankind on earth.
4 Treasure of the Three-in-One,
The blessed Trinity,
Do, interpret Thyself to me,
And all my doubts dispel.
5 Thy pages I’ll open with pray’r,
To learn Thy doctrines Lord;
The everlasting Book divine,
Show me the Saviour’s love
