“The entrance of Thy words giveth light”-Ps. 119:130
1 The spirit breathes upon the Word,
And brings the truth to sight;
Precepts and promises afford,
A sanctifying light.
2 A glory gilds the sacred page,
Majestic, like the sun:
It gives a light to every age,
It gives, but borrow none.
3 The hand that gave it still supplies
The gracious light and heat:
Its truths upon the nations rise
They rise, but never set.
4 Let everlasting thanks be Thine
For such a brigh display,
As makes a world of darkness shine
With beams of heavenly day
5 My soul rejoices to pursue
The steps of Him I love,
Till glory breaks upon my view
In brighter worlds above.
