Lyics

My Bible 'tis a book divine,

Where heavenly truth and mercy shine,

And wisdom speaks in ev'ry line,

And speaks to me.



My Bible in this book I trace

The records of redeeming grace;

Glad tidings to a sinful race,

Good news to me.



My Bible, source of comfort pure,

To those who trials here endure;

The hope of heaven it renders sure,

Best hope for me.



I love my bible, may I ne'er

Consult it, but with faith and prayer,

That I may see my Savior there

Who died for me.
