Hymns - The Bible Is a Brilliant Lamp - Текст песни

The Bible is a brilliant lamp,
Given to light up our way,
To show our feet the way to tread,
To turn darkness into day.

To teach to us the Father???s love,
And the Evil One???s cruel hate,
To show the path round many snares,
The way to the pearly gate.

Given to all who truly seek,
For wisdom, meaning and love,
Instruction in life???s mysteries,
The way to Heaven above.

And once you grasp the lamp, do not
Hoard that brilliant, precious light,
But share with all the radiant beam,
And watch it conquer the night.
