The Bible
The Bible, contains the mind of God.
State of man.
The way of Salvation.
The doom of sinner’s.
And the happiness of believer’s.
Its doctrines are holy
Its Precepts are binding .
Its stories are true .
And its Decisions are all immutable.
Read it to be wise.
Believe it to be safe .
And practice it to be holy.
It contains light to direct you .
Food to support you.
And comfort to cheer you.
It is the travelers map.
The pilgrim’s staff .
The pilot’s compass .
The soldier’s sword .
And the Christian charter.
Here paradise is restored .
Heaven opened.
And the gates of hell disclosed.
Christ is its grand subject.
Our good the design.
And the Glory of God its end.
It should fill the memory.
Rule the heart.
And guide the feet.
Read it slowly, frequently and prayerfully.
It is a mine of wealth,
health to the sole .
And a river of pleasure .
It involves the highest responsibility.
Well Reword the greatest labor.
And would condemn all who, trifle with its secret condenses.
Prayer it in.
Read it through.
Live it out.
And pass it on.
