A glory gilds the sacred page

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 387 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A glory gilds the sacred page, Majestic like the sun; It gives a light to ev'ry age, It gives--but borrows none. 2 The hand that gave it still supplies The gracious light and heat: His truths upon the nations rise, They rise, but never set. 3 Let everlasting thanks be Thine, For such a bright display, As makes a world of darkness shine With beams of heavenly day. 4 My soul rejoices to pursue The steps of Him I love, Till glory breaks upon my view In brighter worlds above.
