HYMN 81. The Word of God like Gold.
Psal. 19.10. More are they to be desired than Gold, yea, than much fine Gold.
1 How precious is that Word of thine, Can Gold with it compare, When 'tis all sacred, all divine? No, there is nothing here
1 HOw precious is that Word of thine, Can Gold with it compare, When 'tis all sacred, all divine? No, there is nothing here
2 Like unto it, 'tis of such worth, A little quantity Of it exceeds all things on Earth, Such glories in it lye.
3 Tho' Gold doth deck the outward Man, This doth the Soul adorn; Thy Gospel is an Ornament, Nay, 'tis thy Peoples Crown.
