Let all the heathen writers join
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #5 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Scriptures Lyrics: 1 Let all the heathen writers join
To form one perfect book:
Great God! if once compar'd with thine,
How mean their writings look!
2 Not the most perfect rules they gave
Could show one sin forgiv'n,
Nor lead a step beyond the grave;
But thine conduct to heav'n.
3 Lord, I have made thy word my choice,
My lasting heritage;
There shall my noblest pow'rs rejoice,
My warmest thoughts engage.
4 I'll read the hist'ries of thy love,
And keep thy laws in sight,
While through thy promises I rove
With ever fresh delight.
5 'Tis a broad land of wealth unknown,
Where springs of life arise,
Seeds of immortal bliss are sown
And hidden glory lies.

Precious Bible! what a treasure
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #6 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: The Scriptures Lyrics: 1 Precious Bible! what a treasure
Does the word of God afford!
All I want for life or pleasure,
Food or med'cine, shield and sword;
Let the world account me poor--
Having this I need no more.
2 Food, to which the world's a stranger,
Here my hungry soul enjoys;
Of excess there is no danger,
Though it fills, it never cloys;
On a dying Christ I feed--
He is meat and drink indeed!
Scripture: Psalm 19:10

By the thoughtless world derided
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #7 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: The Scriptures Lyrics: 1 By the thoughtless world derided,
Still I love the word of God;
'Tis the crook by which I'm guided,
Often 'tis a chastening rod.
'Tis a sword that cuts asunder
All my pride and vanity,
When abas'd I lie, and wonder
That he spares a wretch like me.
2 This confirms me when I waver,
Sets my trembling judgment right;
When I stray, how much so over,
This is my restoring light:
Satan oft, and sin, assail me,
With temptations ever new;
Then, O nothing can avail me,
'Till my bleeding Lord I view.
3 Faith I need, O Lord bestow it,
Give my labouring mind relief;
Oft, alas! I doubt, I know it,
Help, O help my unbelief.
Dearest Saviour, by thy merit
May I gain a future crown;
Guide, O guide me by thy Spirit,
Till these storms are overblown! Scripture: Psalm 119:97
By the thoughtless world derided
