The Light And Glory Of The Word.

    By William Cowper



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


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


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


    Let everlasting thanks be thine,
    For such a bright display,
    As makes a world of darkness shine
    With beams of heavenly day.


    My soul rejoices to pursue
    The steps of him I love,
    Till glory breaks upon my view
    In brighter worlds above.
