Sheet music
- 1Holy Bible, book divine,Precious treasure, thou art mine;Mine to tell me whence I came;Mine to teach me what I am;Mine to chide me when I rove;Mine to show a Savior’s love;Mine thou art to guide and guard;Mine to punish or reward;
- 2Mine to comfort in distress,Suffering in this wilderness;Mine to show, by living faith,Man can triumph over death;Mine to tell of joys to come,And the rebel sinner’s doom;O thou holy book divine,Precious treasure, thou art mine.
