Hymn 474
The Bible everlasting book
Meter: C.M.
Scripture: 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
A book indeed among thousands,
A book of ancient days;
Thou made salvation way so plain
To all mankind on earth.
4
The treasure of the Three-in-One,
The blessed Trinity,
Do, interpret Thy self 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.
