God’s Own Book—A Treasure

1. There is a book that by its many pages

Brings peace and joy and hope to humankind

Its wondrous thoughts

Are charged with such great power;

It brings life to the "dead," sight to the "blind."

That precious book is God's own Holy Bible

Its words were penned

By men whom God inspired

By men who truly loved their God Jehovah

And by his holy spirit they were fired



2. They wrote a record true of God's creations

How by his might this universe appeared

They also told how man at first was sinless

But how his Paradise then disappeared

They further told about a certain angel

Who challenged God and spurned his sov'reignty

That challenge led to sin and man's great sorrow

But soon will come Jehovah's victory



3. Today we live in times of joy unbounded

God's Kingdom now is here with Christ as Lord

This is the day Jehovah grants salvation

To all who come to him in full accord

Within his book are found these cheerful tidings;

A sacred banquet feast on which to feed

It offers peace beyond all human thinking;

This Living Treasure beckons all to read
