VII
.
The
Excellency
of
the
BIBLE
.
I.
GREAT
GOD
,
with
Wonder
and
with
Praise
On
all
thy
Works
I
look
;
But
still
thy
Wisdom
,
Pow'r
and
Grace
,
Shine
brightest
in
thy
Book
.
II
.
The
Stars
that
in
their
Courses
roll
,
Have
much
Instruction
giv'n
;
But
thy
good
Word
informs
my
Soul
How
I
may
climb
to
Heav'n
.
III
.
The
Fields
provide
me
Food
,
and
show
The
Goodness
of
the
LORD
;
But
Fruits
of
Life
and
Glory
grow
In
thy
most
holy
Word
.
IV
.
Here
are
my
choicest
Treasures
hid
,
Here
my
best
Comfort
lies
;
Here
my
Desires
are
satisfy'd
,
And
hence
my
Hopes
arise
.
V.
LORD
,
make
me
understand
thy
Law
;
Shew
what
my
Faults
have
been
;
And
from
thy
Gospel
let
me
draw
Pardon
for
all
my
Sin
.
VI
.
Here
would
I
learn
how
CHRIST
has
dy'd
To
save
my
Soul
from
Hell
:
Not
all
the
Books
on
Earth
beside
Such
heav'nly
Wonders
tell
.
VII
.
Then
let
me
love
my
Bible
more
,
And
take
a
fresh
Delight
By
Day
to
read
these
Wonders
o'er
,
And
meditate
by
Night
.
