No Book Is Like the Bible

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 bless­èd 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.

Love God

our Lord and Sav­ior

Who reigns in Heav’n ab­ove

And bids us all re­mem­ber

Our neig­hbors we must love;

For on these great com­mand­ments

To Christ­ians here be­low

Hang all the law and pro­phets;

The Bi­ble tells us so.

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.
