The Scriptures. 2 Tim. 3. 16; Prov. 8.8; 13. 13

1 Say, Christian, would’st thou thrive
  In knowledge of thy Lord?
  Against no Scripture ever strive,
  But tremble at his word.

2 Revere the sacred page;
  To injure any part
  Betrays, with blind and feeble rage,
  A hard and haughty heart.

3 If aught there dark appear,
  Bewail thy want of sight;
  No imperfection can be there,
  For all God’s words are right.

4 The Scriptures and the Lord
  Bear one tremendous name;
  The written and the incarnate Word
  In all things are the same.
