Cling to the Bible

Verse 1

Cling to the Bible, though all else be taken; Lose not its precepts, so precious and pure; Souls that are sleeping its tidings awaken; Life from the dead in its promises sure.

Chorus

Cling to the Bible! Cling to the Bible! Cling to the Bible— Our Lamp and our Guide!

Verse 2

Cling to the Bible! This jewel and treasure Brings life eternal, and saves fallen man; Surely its value no mortal can measure: Seek for its blessing, O soul, while you can!

Verse 3

Lamp for the feet that in byways have wandered, Guide for the youth that would otherwise fall; Hope for the sinner whose life has been squandered, Staff for the agèd, and best book of all.
