The words of a book,

Like heavenly sounds,

Have spoken to us from out of

the ground.

This voice from the past,

Now heard in our day,

Is a work and a wonder today.



A voice we can trust,

That cries from the dust,

And it's speaking to us-



In our day when people hunger,

For our time when good

men wander,

A book is designed to give

help divine

For our day.



The words of a book

That shine as a light

Have opened our eyes and

restored our sight.

This light of the Lord

That shows us the way

Is a marvelous work and

a wonder.



A light for our time,

To brighten our minds.

It gives sight to the blind-



In our day when people hunger,

For our time when good

men wander,

A book is designed to give

help divine

For our day.



This book of books,

Like an iron rod,

Leads to the fruit of the love of God.



In our day when people hunger,

For our time when good men wander,

A book is designed to give help divine

For our day.
