No book is like the Bible,
For childhood, youth and age;
Our duty, plain and simple,
We find on every page.
It came by inspiration,
A light to guide our way,
A voice from Him who gave it,
Reproving when we stray.
No book is like the Bible,
The bless�d book we love,
The pilgrim�s chart of glory,
It leads to God above.
It tells of man�s creation,
His sad, primeval fall;
It tells of man�s redemption,
Through Christ, who died for all;
In sacred words of wisdom
It bids us watch and pray,
And early come to Jesus,
The Life, the Truth, the Way.
No book is like the Bible,
The bless�d book we love,
The pilgrim�s chart of glory,
It leads to God above.
O, let us love the Bible,
And praise it more and more;
Our life is like a shadow,
Our days will soon be o�er;
But if we closely follow
The counsel God has giv�n,
We then may hope with angels
To sing His praise in Heav�n.
No book is like the Bible,
The bless�d book we love,
The pilgrim�s chart of glory,
It leads to God above.
