Love the Book of God Eternal,
For its sacred pages care;
Have no friends who scorn or hate it,
None who sneer at what is there.
Fear not to confess it faithful,
For its truths to stand and dare;
God will honor all who reverence
All that He has spoken there.
Teach its truth and spread its message,
Of the fear of man beware;
God will give you strength and courage,
Sure as He has promised there.
Soon amid those heavenly regions,
Free from all earth’s din and care,
We shall know in full fruition;
All it told of Christ is there.
