The Bible. Written To ---- With One.

Topics: classic

The book of life to thee is given,     To warn of death, to guide to Heaven.     Wanderer on the wild astray,     Here wilt thou find the King's highway.     Has thy soul suffered, hunger, pain,     Trying to feed on husks in vain?     Here thou wilt find the palace fair,     Where there is bread enough to spare     Thou'lt find where living waters roll,     To satisfy the fainting soul.     Thou hast been thirsty, very sore,     Here come and drink and thirst no more,     Thou'lt find the pearl of greatest price     Hid in the Master's promises.     And so this book to thee is given     To warn of hell, to guide to Heaven.     GRACE HILL, 1842.
