Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Laudes Domini #103 (1890) Incipit: 13351 16551 32225 First Line: The Spirit breathes upon the word Lyrics: 1 The Spirit breathes upon the word,
And brings the truth to sight;
Precepts and promises afford
A sanctifying light.
2 A glory gilds the sacred page,
Majestic, like the sun;
It gives a light to every age;
It gives, but borrows none.
3 The hand, that gave it, still supplies
The gracious light and heat;
Its truths upon the nations rise,
They rise, but never set.
4 Let everlasting thanks be thine,
For such a bright display,
As makes a world of darkness shine
With beams of heavenly day.
5 My soul rejoices to pursue
The steps of him I love,
Till glory breaks upon my view,
In brighter worlds above. Topics: The Scriptures; Bible; Inspiration; Bible; Inspiration Languages: English Tune Title: SOUTHWELL
