Classic Poem

There is a Treasure,
Rich beyond measure,
Offered to mortals today;
Some folk despise it,
Some criticize it,
Some would explain it away.

Some never read it,
Some never heed it,
Some say “It's long had its day”;
Some people prize it,
And he who tries it
Finds it his comfort and stay.

God gave this Treasure,
Rich beyond measure,
His Word, we call it today.
Let us believe it,
Gladly receive it,
Read, mark, and learn to obey.
