| 1 | All Scripture is the very breath of God, |
| | And by His Spirit into words was breathed; |
| | By godly men the words were written down, |
| | With all God’s fulness unto man bequeathed. |
| 2 | It is the breath of God as light to man, |
| | With rays divine man to illuminate; |
| | It shines in darkness and to man reveals |
| | What is his truest need and actual state. |
| 3 | It is the breath of God as life to man, |
| | Nature divine to man it doth impart; |
| | The dead it quickens and regenerates, |
| | Transforms the soul-life and renews the heart. |
| 4 | It is the breath of God as wisdom too, |
| | Knowledge divine to man it has to teach; |
| | Th’ eternal purpose of the Lord it shows, |
| | And leadeth man God’s final goal to reach. |
| 5 | It is the breath of God as strength to man, |
| | Power divine to man it doth transmit, |
| | Strength’ning the weak, empowering the faint, |
| | Enabling man God’s purpose full to fit. |
| 6 | It is the breath of God for us to breathe, |
| | That as our portion God we may enjoy; |
| | Receiving it by spirits exercised, |
| | Our need is met, His wealth we may employ. |
