Glorious

1A glory gilds the sacred page,
Majestic, like the sun;
It gives a light to every age,
It gives, but borrows none,
It gives, but borrows none.

2The Spirit breathes upon the word,
And brings the truth to sight;
Precepts and promises afford A sanctifying light,
A sanctifying light.

3The hand that gave it, still supplies The gracious light and heat;
His truths upon the nations rise,
They rise, but never set,
They rise, but never set.

4Let everlasting thanks be Thine,
For such a bright display;
It makes a world of darkness shine With beams of heav'nly day,
With beams of heav'nly day.
