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
