Thanks for Thy Word, O bless­èd Re­deem­er!
Open our eyes its beau­ty to see;
Grant us Thy grace to stu­dy it wise­ly,
Close ev­ery heart to all but Thee.

Refrain

Thanks for the Bi­ble, off’ring so free­ly
Pardon and peace to all who be­lieve;
Help us, O Lord, its coun­sel to fol­low,
Meekly by faith its truth re­ceive.

Thanks for Thy Word of pre­cept and pro­mise,
Lamp to our feet and light to our way,
Points us afar where plea­sures im­mor­tal
Bloom in Thine own bright realm of day.

Refrain

Blessèd are they who keep its com­mand­ments,
They shall abide for ev­er with Thee;
Close by the clear and beau­ti­ful ri­ver,
Sharing the fruits of life’s fair tree.
