’Tis so Sweet to Read My Bible

’Tis so sweet to read my Bible,
Word by word and day by day;
As I read the Lord speaks to me!
On His word I’ll ever stay.
 
Word by word! Word by word!
I would read my Bible.
Oh how dear, Him to hear,
As I read my Bible.
2
There’s a feast spread in the Bible,
For His word is man’s true food.
How I long to eat more, for I,
Have tasted the Lord is good.
3
So much wealth is in the Bible,
Mine its words for precious ore.
In it I find all God’s riches,
They become my treasure store!
4
Words of love are in the Bible,
Unveiling the Author’s heart.
These words draw and woo His seekers,
Making them His counterpart.
5
Yet, most precious in the Bible,
Is not wisdom, truth and grace.
But behind its words is Jesus!
I behold Him face to face.
 
Face to face! Face to face!
While I read my Bible.
He is near, He is here,
As I read my Bible.

Unveiling the Author’s heart.

Making them His counterpart.
