William Cowper - Olney Hymn 30: The Light And Glory Of The Word
Work rating: Low

The Spirit breathes upon the word, 
And brings the truth to sight; 
Precepts and promises afford 
A sanctifying light. 

A glory gilds the sacred page, 
Majestic like the sun; 
It gives a light to every age, 
It gives, but borrows none. 

The hand that gave it still supplies 
The gracious light and heat; 
His truths upon the nations rise, 
They rise, but never set. 

Let everlasting thanks be thine, 
For such a bright display, 
As makes a world of darkness shine 
With beams of heavenly day. 

My soul rejoices to pursue 
The steps of Him I love, 
Till glory break upon my view 
In brighter worlds above.
