The Holy Scriptures. <br /> <br />Heb. 1:1,2; 2 Tim. 3:15,16; Psa. 147:19,20. <br /> <br />God, who in various methods told <br />His mind and will to saints of old, <br />Sent down his Son, with truth and grace, <br />To teach us in these latter days. <br /> <br />Our nation reads the written word, <br />That book of life, that sure record: <br />The bright inheritance of heav'n <br />Is by the sweet conveyance giv'n. <br /> <br />God's kindest thoughts are here expressed, <br />Able to make us wise and bless'd; <br />The doctrines are divinely true, <br />Fit for reproof and comfort too. <br /> <br />Ye British isles, who read his love <br />In long epistles from above, <br />(He hath not sent his sacred word <br />To every land,) praise ye the Lord.<br /><br />Isaac Watts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hymn-53/
