Text

Oft have I read the sacred book,
Yet frequently when there I look,
I find some heav'nly matter new.
The shining lustre doth surprise,
I gaze with newly opened eyes,
And glorious wonders rise to view.

How num'rous are the words of peace,
The sacred promises of grace!
Exceeding great and precious too!
A rich supply for all our needs,
Thy mercy, Lord, our want exceeds;
And all thy words are just and true.
