272- Give Me the Bible
The Holy Scriptures
1
- Give me the Bible, star of gladness gleaming,
- To cheer the wanderer lone and tempest tossed,
- No storm can hide that peaceful radiance beaming,
- Since Jesus came to seek and save the lost.
Refrain
- 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.
2
- 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.
3
- 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.
