The Inspired Book

By Nellie M. Butler

Its light shines all along the stream of time, Illumines its story with its light sublime. We find in it true record of the past; And, too, are brought to view the very last Scenes on this earth, when all will pass away, And soon will usher in the coming day, When sin on earth shall never be again, But peace and happiness shall ever reign. Then should we thank our Father good and kind That He has given unto all mankind A Book that warns us of the dangers here, And tells of One, a Pilot, ever near, Whom we can trust, and who will safely guide Us to the home beyond the swelling tide. How anxious should we be the light to give To those who have it not; to those who live In darkness and in fear and constant gloom, Who have no hope of life beyond the tomb. O, hasten to them e'er the day is done. The night is coming, soon will set the sun. O, hasten with the Book, the precious guide That tells of Jesus, once the Crucified. O, hasten with the Book that tells of home Where sickness, sorrow, sin, or death ne'er come, Where Jesus waits to welcome every soul To life and joy while endless ages roll.
