I do believe the Bible,
the blesséd Word of God,
And close unto its promises I cleave.
It points me to the pathway
the saints and martyrs trod,
My Father is its Author, and I believe.
Yes, I believe the blessèd Word of God,
It marks the paths
His people all have trod;
The story, from creation,
all thro’ to “Revelation,”
Bears proof of inspiration, and I believe.
It was my parents’ counsel;
to them its truths were grand.
And mem’ry oft a picture
sweet doth weave
Of that “old-fashioned Bible
that lay upon the stand,”
In life, in death, it cheered them,
and I believe.
Yes, I believe the blessèd Word of God,
It marks the paths
His people all have trod;
The story, from creation,
all thro’ to “Revelation,”
Bears proof of inspiration, and I believe.
I once was lost and dying,
in darkness and despair,
And o’er my lost condition long I grieved,
Until I searched the Bible
and learned of Jesus there,
Who sweetly blest and
saved me when I believed.
Yes, I believe the blessèd Word of God,
It marks the paths
His people all have trod;
The story, from creation,
all thro’ to “Revelation,”
Bears proof of inspiration, and I believe.
Bold infidels may cavil,
and scorn the blesséd Book,
And with their groundless
doctrines may deceive;
Still all the while the Bible
brings peace to those who look
With faith upon its pages, and I believe.
Yes, I believe the blessèd Word of God,
It marks the paths
His people all have trod;
The story, from creation,
all thro’ to “Revelation,”
Bears proof of inspiration, and I believe.
