I’ll Not Give Up the Bible

I’ll not give up the Bi­ble

That pre­cious book di­vine

For glo­ry gilds its pag­es

And truth ad­orns each line.

I’ll nev­er give up that ho­ly book

I’ll nev­er give up the Bi­ble;

I’ll nev­er give up that ho­ly book

That pre­cious book di­vine.

Though foes may fight against me

And ene­mies com­bine

Its pre­cepts still shall guide me

As light from Heav’n they shine.

When fate’s wild storms o’er­cloud me

And loud the bil­lows roar

My chart shall be the Bi­ble

To guide to Heav’n’s bright shore.
