220 – I Love the Sacred Book
1. I love the sacred book of God, No other can its place supply; It points me to the saints’ abode, And bids me from destruction fly.
2. Sweet book! in thee my eyes discern The image of my absent Lord; From thy instructive page I learn The joys His presence will afford.
3. But while I’m here, thou shalt supply His place, and tell me of His love; I’ll read with faith’s discerning eye, And thus partake of joys above.
4. Within thy sacred lids is found A transcript of my Maker’s will; Treasures of knowledge here abound, The deepest, loftiest mind to fill.
5. Light of the world, thy beams impart, To lead my feet through life’s dark way; O, shine on this benighted heart, Nor let me from thy guidance stray. 220
062 – Napenda Kitabu Chake “I Love The Sacred Book”
1 Napenda kitabu chake, kilichotoka mbinguni, Barua kwangu ya Bwana Ujumbe wake wa`pendo.
2 Humo ndani ya kitabu Sura ya Yesu naona; Karatasi zimekuwa, Wayo zake za Mwongozi.
3 Mapenzi yake Mwumbaji, Kubwe la asali tamu; Natamani kuuonja, Ule mkate wa uzima.
4 Mapenzi Yake Mwumbaji, Yanafunuliwa humo; Hazina kuu ya hekima, Utajiri wa ajabu.
5 Mwangaza wa ulimwengu Angaza humo moyoni! Uwe mwandamizi pote, Taa ya hatua zangu. 062
