On Reading the Book of God

Author: Alexander Campbell Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #325 (1995) First Line: Every one who opens the Book of God Lyrics: Every one who opens the Book of God, with one aim, with one ardent desire--intent only to know the will of God--to such a person, the knowledge of God is easy: for the Bible is framed to illuminate such, and only such, with the salutary knowledge of things celestial and divine. Humility of mind, or what is in effect the same, contempt for all earth-born pre-eminence, prepares the mind for the reception of this light; or, what is virtually the same, opens the ears to hear the voice of God.
