The Nature and Blessing of the Scriptures

The Nature and Blessing of the Scriptures 

This Book unfolds Jehovah's Mind, 

This Voice salutes in accents kind, 

This Fountain has its source on High, 

This Friend will all your needs supply. 

This Mine affords us boundless wealth, 

This Good Physician gives us health, 

This Sun renews and warms our soul, 

This Sword both wounds and makes us whole. 

This Letter shows our sin forgiven, 

This Guide conducts us straight to Heaven, 

This Charter has been sealed with blood,

This Volume is the Word of God.
