Give me the Bible, star of gladness gleaming To cheer the wand'rer lone and tempest tossed No storm can hide that radience peaceful beaming Since Jesus came to seek and save the lost 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 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 Saviour near 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 Give me the Bible, lamp of life immortal Hold up that splendor by the open grave Show me the light from heaven's shining portal Show me the glory gilding Jordan's wave 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
