Holy Bible, Book Divine

1 Holy Bible, book divine,  
Precious treasure, thou art mine;  
Mine to tell me whence I came;  
Mine to teach me what I am.  

2 Mine to chide me when I rove;  
Mine to show a Savior's love;  
Mine thou art to guide and guard;  
Mine to punish or reward.  

3 Mine to comfort in distress,  
Suff'ring in this wilderness;  
Mine to show, by living faith,  
Man can triumph over death.  

4 Mine to tell of joys to come,  
And the rebel sinner's doom:  
O thou Holy Book divine,  
Precious treasure, thou art mine.
