God's Word


THE PRECIOUS BOOK



Though the cover is worn and pages are torn,

And though places bear traces of tears;

Yet more precious than gold is the Book worn and old,

That can shatter and scatter my fears.



When I prayerfully look in the precious old Book,

Many pleasures and treasures I see;

Many tokens of love from the Father above,

Who is nearest and dearest to me.



This book is my guide; It's a friend by my side;

It will lighten and brighten my way.

And each promise I find soothes and gladdens my mind,

As I read it and heed it each day.
