This is quilt #5. I am about done with quilt #6.

THE BIBLE

The mind of God, the state of man, the Way of salvation, the doom of sinners, the happiness of believers.

It's doctrine is holy
Precepts are binding
Histories true
Decisions immutable.

Read it to be wise
Believe it to be safe
Practice it to be holy.

It contains light to direct us
Food to support us
Comfort to cheer us.

It 's the traveler's map
The pilgrim's staff
The pilot's compass
The soldier's sword
The Christian's Charter.

Here paradise is restored
Heaven is open
The gates of hell disclosed.

Christ is it's grand subject
Our good, it's design
And the glory of God it's end.

It should fill the memory
Rule the heart
Guide the feet.

Read it slowly, frequently, and prayerfully.
It's given to us in life
It will be opened at the Judgement,
And remembered forever.

It involves the highest responsibliity
Will reward the greatest labor,
And will condemn ALL who trifle with it's sacred contents.
