HYMN XXXI. BEFORE READING THE SCRIPTURES.
O that I, like Timothy,
Might the Holy Scriptures know,
From mine earliest infancy,
Till for God mature I grow,
Made unto salvation wise,
Ready for the glorious prize.
Might the Holy Scriptures know,
From mine earliest infancy,
Till for God mature I grow,
Made unto salvation wise,
Ready for the glorious prize.
Jesus, all-redeeming Lord,
Full of truth, and full of grace,
Make me understand Thy word,
Teach me in my youthful days
Wonders in Thy word to see,
Wise through faith which is in Thee.
Full of truth, and full of grace,
Make me understand Thy word,
Teach me in my youthful days
Wonders in Thy word to see,
Wise through faith which is in Thee.
399
Open now mine eyes of faith,
Open now the book of God,
Show me here the secret path,
Leading to Thy bless'd abode:
Wisdom from above impart,
Speak the meaning to my heart.
