Book of grace.
Book of grace, and book of glory!
Gift of God to age and youth;
Wondrous in thy sacred story,
Bright, bright with truth.
2 Book of love! in accents tender,
Speaking unto such as we;
May it lead us, Lord, to render
All, all to thee.
3 Book of hope! the spirit sighing,
Consolation finds in thee;
As it hears the Saviour crying—
“Come, come to me.”
4 Book of life! when we reposing,
Bid farewell to friends we love
Give us for the life then closing,
Life, life above.
