God's word is our great heritage

And shall be ours forever;
To spread its light from age to age

In death it is our stay;

Thy Church may hold it fast
Throughout all generations.

Here my desires are satisfied,
And here my hopes arise.

How blest the children of the Lord
Author: Harriet Auber Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Worship Holy Scriptures Lyrics: 1 How blest the children of the Lord,
Who, walking in his sight,
Make all the precepts of his word
Their study and delight!
2 That precious wealth shall be their dower,
Which cannot know decay;
Which moth and rust shall ne'er devour,
Or spoiler take away.
3 For them that heavenly light shall spread
Whose cheering rays illume
The darkest hours of life, and shed
A halo round the tomb.
4 Their works of piety and love,
Performed through Christ, their Lord,
Forever registered above,
Shall meet a sure reward. Used With Tune: DENFIELD
How blest the children of the Lord
I love the sacred book of God
Author: Thomas Kelly Appears in 92 hymnals Topics: Worship Holy Scriptures Lyrics: 1 I love the sacred book of God,
No other can its place supply;
It points me to the saints' abode,
And bids me from destruction fly.
2 Sweet book! in thee my eyes discern
The image of my absent Lord;
From my instructive page I learn
The joys his presence will afford.
3 But while I'm here, thou shalt supply
His place, and tell me of his love;
I'll read with faith's discerning eye,
And thus partake of joys above.
4 Within thy sacred lids is found
A transcript of my Maker's will;
Treasures of knowledge here abound,
The deepest, loftiest mind to fill.
5 Light of the world, thy beams impart,
To lead my feet through life's dark way;
O, shine on this benighted heart,
Nor let me from thy guidance stray.

The purest gold without alloy,
And gems divinely bright.

And here the Saviour's lovely face
Our raptured eyes behold.

Directs our doubtful feet;
Here promises of heavenly love
Our ardent wishes meet. Used With Tune: ORTONVILLE

To those that walked with thee,
So teach us, Lord, to understand,
And its blest fullness see;
3 Its richness, sweetness, power, and depth,
Its holiness discern;
Its joyful news of saving grace
By blest experience learn.
4 Thou may thy word be dearer still,
And studied more each day;
And as it richly dwells within,
Thyself in it display. Used With Tune: MAITLAND

That to earth's remotest bound
Men may heed the joyful sound;

How his only Son he gave,
Man from sin and death to save;

Earth's sore burden doth remove;
How for ever, in its need,
Through his death the world is freed;
4 Mighty word God's Spirit gave,
Man for heavenly life to save;
Word through whose all-holy might
Man can will and do the right;
5 Word of life, most pure and strong,
Word for which the nations long,
Spread abroad, until from night
All the world awakes to light.
