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.
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.
C

Chorus

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.
