Golden Text Song

Representative Text

1 As on this happy day we meet,
Our golden texts we will repeat;
The messages of love so sweet,
Our golden texts so precious.

Chorus:
Golden texts, golden texts,
We'll remember ever;
Golden texts, golden texts,
They are ours forever.

2 They teach us of the heav'nly way,
Their guiding we will e'er obey;
For they will help us day by day,
Our golden texts so precious. [Chorus]

3 Like stars they ever brightly shine,
The messages of love divine;
For they are yours and they are mine,
Our golden texts so precious. [Chorus]
