What Says the Bible?

F. E. Belden • English

Primary Scripture: Isaiah 8:20

Verse 1

What says the Bible, the blessed Bible? This should my only question be; Teachings of men so often mislead us, What says the book of God to me?

Chorus

What says the Bible? few can tell; What says the Bible? study it well. Keep the commandments, the ten commandments, Look for the coming Saviour too.

Verse 2

Few ever study the law eternal, Few ever seek to know or do; Yet there are some who try to improve it, Touching the fourth commandment too.

Chorus

What says the Bible? few can tell; What says the Bible? study it well. Keep the commandments, the ten commandments, Look for the coming Saviour too.

Verse 3

How will you answer at Jesus' coming Ye who Jehovah's law construe? Can you reply, "I've kept the commandments"? Answer the question, each of you.

Chorus

What says the Bible? few can tell; What says the Bible? study it well. Keep the commandments, the ten commandments, Look for the coming Saviour too.
