What endless glory shines!
For ever be thy name ador'd
For these celestial lines.
2 Here, may the wretched sons of want
Exhaustless riches find:
Riches, above what earth can grant,
And lasting as the mind.
3 Here the fair tree of knowledge grows
And yields a free repast,
Sublimer sweets than nature knows
Invite the longing taste.
4 Here, the Redeemer’s welcome voice
Spreads heavenly peace around;
And life, and everlasting joys
Attend the blissful sound.
5 O may these heavenly pages be
My ever dear delight;
And still new beauties may I see,
And still increasing light!

Be thou for ever near,
Teach me to love thy sacred word,
And view my Savior there. Languages: English

The Usefulness of the Scriptures
Author: Beddome Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #XLIV (1792) Topics: Scripture The Properties; Scriptures Their usefulness First Line: When Israel thro' the desert pass'd Lyrics: 1 When Israel thro' the desert pass'd,
A fiery pillar went before,
To guide them thro' the dreary waste,
And lessen the fatigue they bore.
2 Such is thy glorious word, O God,
'Tis for our light and guidance given;
It sheds its lusture all abroad,
And points the path to bliss and heaven.
3 It fills the soul with sweet delight,
And quickens its inactive powers,
It sets our wandering footsteps right,
Displays thy love, and kindles ours.
4 Its promises rejoice our hearts,
Its doctrines are divinely true;
Knowledge and pleasure it imparts,
It comforts, and instructs us too.
5 Ye British isles, who have this word,
Ye saints, who feel its saving power,
Unite your tongues to praise the Lord,
And his distinguish'd grace adore. Scripture: Psalm 19 Languages: English

Author: Beddome Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCXXX (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Reading the scriptures First Line: Great God, oppress'd with grief and fear Lyrics: 1 Great God, oppress'd with grief and fear,
I take thy book and hope to find
Some gracious word of promise there,
To sooth the sorrows of my mind:
2 I turn the sacred volume o'er,
And search with care from page to page:
Of threatnings find an ample store,
But nought that can my grief assuage,
3 And is there nought? forbid dear Lord,
So base a thought should e'er arise;
I'll search again, and while I search,
O may the scales fall off mine eyes!
4 'Tis done: and with transporting joys,
I read the heaven-inspired lines;
There mercy spreads its brightest beams,
And truth with dazzling lustre shines.
5 Here's heavenly food for hungry souls,
And mines of gold to enrich the poor;
Here's healing balm for every wound,
A salve for every festering sore.

Her favourite god pursue;

The riches it contains,
And in the conscience safely seals
The grandeur of its lines;
3 Then mines of knowledge, love, and joy
Are opened to our sight;
The purest gold without alloy
And gems divinely bright.
4 The counsels of redeeming grace
Those sacred leaves unfold;
And here the Saviour’s lovely face
Our raptured eyes behold.
5 Here light, descending from above,
Directs our doubtful feet;
Here promises of heavenly love
Our ardent wishes meet.
6 Our numerous griefs are here redressed,
And all our wants supplied;
Nought we can ask to make us blest
Is in this book denied. Languages: English
