How Readest Thou?

'Tis one thing to read the Bible through;

Another thing to read to learn to do.

'Tis another thing, too, to read with delight,

And quite another thing to read it right.

 

Some read it with design to learn to read,

But the subject pay but little heed;

Some read it as their duty, once a week,

But no instruction from the Bible seek.

 

Some read to bring themselves into repute,

By showing others how they can dispute,

While some read because their neighbors do,

To see how long 'twill take to read it through.

 

Some read the blessed Book they know not why--

­It sometimes happens in the way to lie;

While others read it with uncommon care,

But just to find some contradiction there.

 

One reads with his father's specs upon his head,

And sees the things just as his father said;

One reads through others who are not inspired,

And thinks it seems precisely what they desired.

 

Some read to prove some pre-admitted creed,

Thus understanding but very little what they read.

And every passage in the Book they bend.

To make it prove that all-important (?) end.

 

Some people read as I have thought,

To teach the book instead of being taught,

Yet many others read with highest purpose given,

To learn to do the greatest work for Heaven.
