Give me the Bible,
star of gladness gleaming,
To cheer the wand’rer lone
and tempest tossed;
No storm can hide
that radiance peaceful beaming,
Since Jesus came to seek
and save the lost.
Give me the Bible,
holy message shining;
Thy light shall guide me
in the narrow way;
Precept and promise,
law and love combining,
Till night shall vanish
in eternal day.
Give me the Bible,
when my heart is broken,
When sin and grief have
filled my soul with fear;
Give me the precious words
by Jesus spoken,
Hold up faith’s lamp
to show my Savior near.
Give me the Bible,
holy message shining;
Thy light shall guide me
in the narrow way;
Precept and promise,
law and love combining,
Till night shall vanish
in eternal day.
Give me the Bible,
all my steps enlighten,
Teach me the danger
of these realms below;
That lamp of safety o’er
the gloom shall brighten,
That light alone the path
of peace can show.
Give me the Bible,
holy message shining;
Thy light shall guide me
in the narrow way;
Precept and promise,
law and love combining,
Till night shall vanish
in eternal day.
Give me the Bible,
lamp of life immortal,
Hold up that splendor
by the open grave;
Show me the light
from heaven’s shining portal,
Show me the glory
gilding Jordan’s wave.
Give me the Bible,
holy message shining;
Thy light shall guide me
in the narrow way;
Precept and promise,
law and love combining,
Till night shall vanish
in eternal day.
