The Function of the Word

Oh, how I love this blessed Book!
The story of redeeming grace,
Love letter of my Bridegroom's heart
And mirror of my Savior's face.

Oh, how I love this blessed Book!
My checkbook on the bank above,
Deed of my heavenly heritage
And dying will of Him I love.

Oh, how I love this blessed Book!
Bright telescope through which I view
The wonders of the world to come
And gaze on glories ever new.

Oh, how I love this blessed Book!
My Guide Book all my earthly way,
The lamp that cheers my darkest night,
The sunshine of my brightest day.
