1
Give me the Bi-ble, star of glad-ness gleam-ing,
To cheer the wan-d'rer lone and tem-pest-tossed;
No storm can hide that peace-ful ra-diance stream-ing,
Since Je-sus came to seek and save the lost.
2
Give me the Bi-ble, all my steps en-light-en,
Teach me the dan-ger of these realms be-low;
That lamp through all the dark-ness bright-en,
The on-ly light that God has giv-en so.
3
Give me the Bi-ble, lamp of life im-mor-tal,
Hold up that splen-dor by the o-pen grave;
Show me the light from heav-en's gold-en por-tal,
Show me the glo-ry, gild-ing Jordan's wave.
C
Chorus
Give me the Bi-ble, ho-ly mes-sage shin-ing,
Thy light shall guide me in the nar-row way;
Pre-cept and prom-ise, law and love com-bin-ing,
Till night shall van-ish in e-ter-nal day.
