Profit of the Scriptures

SEarch the Scripture, by which ye think
Eternal Life to have;
And those are they that testifie
Of Him that came to save;

For what of old was given forth
Was for our learning penn'd,
That we by Scriptures comforted
Might hope unto the end.

The Prophecy came not of old
By Man's own private will,
But holy Men of God foretold
By Heavn's inspired skill:

Then to the Law and Testament
For they that speak not right,
And as this Word doth represent,
In them there is no light:

For Scripture, sacred Verities
Came all by Inspiration,
Able to perfect and make wise,
Through Faith, unto Salvation.
