God's word

By George Whitefield D'Vys.

God's Word a wondrous tree I find, And 'neath it day by day I take the fruits that give me strength To bear me on life's way; A beautiful tree, large and tall, With shelter, rest, and food for all.
God's Word a telescope I find, And be skies dark or clear, This trusty instrument reveals God, and my Saviour dear; While mirrored daily on my heart Are splendors that can ne'er depart.
God's Word a treasure-house I find With ev'ry treasure free; I reach and take, I simply say: “The Lord meant this for me.” And for my faith what joys are giv'n. Love, and peace, and life, and heaven!
God's Word a river deep I find, No ripple, yet a tide; I launch my bark, and trusting sail, My Saviour for my guide; I view the haven of the blest, And sweet the comfort, sweet the rest! — George Whitefield D'Vys.
