Cling to the Bible, Though All Else Be Taken
"Search the scriptures." - John 5:39
VERSE 1
Cling to the Bible, though all else be taken
Lose not it's precepts so precious and pure;
Souls that are sleeping, it's 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! the 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.
CHORUS
Cling to the Bible! cling to the Bible!
Cling to the Bible! Our lamp and our Guide.
VERSE 3
Lamp for the feet that in by ways have wandered,
Guide for the youth that would otherwise fall;
Hope for the sinner whose life has been squandered,
Staff for the aged and best seek of all.
CHORUS
Cling to the Bible! cling to the Bible!
Cling to the Bible! Our lamp and our Guide.
