Hymn Display
1
The Spirit breathes upon the word, And brings the truth to sight; Precepts and promises afford A sanctifying light.
2
A glory gilds the sacred page, Majestic like the sun; It gives a light to every age, It gives, but borrows none.
3
The hand that gave it still supplies The gracious light and heat; His truths upon the nations rise, They rise, but never set.
