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.
