Holy Bible, valued treasure,
I will make of thee my choice;
Who can fathom thee�or measure,
Only he who knows thy voice.
I do prize thy holy teachings,
And thy promises I claim;
I adore thy meek beseechings,
To accept a Saviour slain.
What were all the world without thee,
All in ign�rance yet would be,
May all those who gladly seek thee,
Soon from evil be made free.
May we render sweet submission,
To the wholesome laws of God;
May we learn on what condition,
Life is promised through his word.
