This Dear Old Book is True

Verse 1

Salvation at the Saviour’s cross, Salvation great and free, Eternal life thro’ Him who died, Is offered you and me; The way, beginning at the cross, We’ll joyfully pursue; It onward leads to mansions bright— For this old Book is true.

Chorus

This dear old Book is true, This dear old Book is true; Salvation at the Saviour’s cross— This dear old Book is true.

Verse 2

We sing of hope, so strong and sure, An anchor to the soul; Of balm that heals the broken heart, And makes the wounded whole; Of love that brooks o’er all the world, As bends the sky’s fair blue; Almighty, everlasting love— For this old Book is tree.

Verse 3

Thank God, we know this Book is true! The witness is within; The Spirit sweetly testifies That Jesus saves from sin; Here and hereafter all is well, We sing His praise anew; For all who come to Jesus find This dear old Book is true.
