God's own Book of love is mine,
Blessed storehouse, rich, divine;
Book of wisdom, Book of truth,
Hope of age and guide of youth.

Chorus:
Mine, mine, Book divine,
Precious treasure, thou art mine.
Book of wisdom, Book of truth,
Hope of age and guide of youth.

Here the way of life is shown,
Here the Master's will made known;
Ev'ry word His truths embrace,
Ev'ry page reveals His grace.

Blessed Book, of all the best!
By its pages I am blest;
Lighthouse, shining o'er the sea,
Leading, guiding, keeping me.

—by S. B. Jackson pseud. for Charles H. Gabriel (1856-1932)
