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.
