Sheet music

This tune was read from the sheet music by computer, so it may have the odd wrong note or rhythm; the sheet music itself is as printed.

  1. 1A glory gilds the sacred page,Majestic like the sun,It gives a light to ev’ry age;It gives, but borrows none.The hand that gave it still suppliesThe gracious light and heat;His truths upon the nations rise:They rise, but never set.
  2. 2Let everlasting thanks be ThineFor such a bright display,As makes a world of darkness shineWith beams of heavenly day.My soul rejoices to pursueThe steps of Him I love,Till glory breaks upon my viewIn brighter worlds above.
