The Supremacy of Christ

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. And He is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything He might be preeminent. For in Him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of His cross.
(Colossians 1:15-20 ESV)

How Precious is the Book Divine

How is Precious Is the Book Divine
By: John Fawcett

How precious is the book divine,
By inspiration given!
Bright as a lamp its teachings shine
To guide our souls to heaven.

Its light, descending from above,
Our gloomy world to cheer,
Displays our Savior’s boundless love
And guide our souls to heaven.

It shows to us our wandering ways
And where our feet have trod
And brings to view the matchless grace
Of our forgiving God.

On all the straight and narrow way
Its radiant beams are cast,
A light whose never weary ray
Grows brightest at the last.

It gladly cheers our drooping hearts
In this dark vale of tears.
Life, peace, and joy its light imparts
And guells our rising fears.

This lamp through all the tedious night
Of life shall guide our way
Till we behold the clearer light
Of an eternal day.
