There's a wonderful book that appeals to my heart.
A mine of riches untold.
Ev’ry word is a jewel of luster divine.
The book that never grows old.
It never grows old, no never grows old.
The word of the Father above.
It never grows old, no never grows old.
Praise God for the book of His love.

THE BIBLE contains * The mind of God * The state of man * The way of salvation * The doom of sinners, and * The happiness of believers. Its doctrines are holy, Its precepts are binding, Its histories are true, and Its decisions are immutable.
Read it to be wise, Believe it to safe, and Practice it to be holy. It contains light to direct you, food to support you, and comfort to cheer you.
It is the traveler’s map, the pilgrim’s staff, the pilot’s compass, the solder’s sword, and Christian’s charter. Here
CHRIST is its grand subject, our good the design, and the glory of God its end.
It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet.
Read it slowly, frequently, and prayerfully. It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, and a river of pleasure. It is given you in life, will be opened at the judgment, and be remembered forever. It involves the highest responsibility, will reward the greatest labor, and will condemn all who trifle with its sacred contents.
