Lyrics

Thou Word In­car­nate, truth so di­vine,
Thou dost il­lum­ine each path of mine.
Never a sor­row can e’er abide,
While in thy re­fuge in safe­ty I hide.

Refrain

O Ho­ly Bi­ble, truth so divine,
Treasure from Heav­en,
I know thou art mine.

Thou Bread of Heav­en, sent from above,
Gift of the Fa­ther, mes­sage of love.
Stream by the way­side, spark­ling and clear,
Fountains of cleans­ing, in thee do ap­pear.

Refrain

Thou art my Wis­dom, Trea­sure com­plete,
Sweeter than hon­ey, lamp to my feet.
Thou art my Coun­sel, Word of the Lord,
Keeping thy pre­cepts brings bless­èd re­ward.
