This is based on the familiar hymn melodies. Scored for organ with a separate pedal line, this arrangement is especially easy -- it was written for a beginning organist! Words by John Burton.
Lyrics
Holy Bible, Book Divine
Music: “Orientis Partibus” and “Galliard,” arr. by Susan I. Lindquist
Words: John Burton, adapted.
Holy Bible, book divine,
Precious treasure, thou art mine:
Mine to tell me whence I came;
Mine to tell me what I am;
Mine to chide me when I rove,
Mine to show a Saviour’s love;
Mine thou art to guide and guard;
Mine to give a rich reward;
Mine to comfort in distress,
With a Saviour’s tenderness;
Mine to show, by living faith,
Man can triumph over death.
