The Bible (Eby)

O Sav­ior

I know Thou art mine

Thy Word have I hid in my heart;

I know all its pre­cepts di­vine

And from them we’ll nev­er de­part.

Then give me the Bi­ble for­ev­er;

Its truth in my heart now I hide;

There’s naught can com­pel us to sev­er

O search-light of truth

be my guide.

Thy search-light of truth has il­lumed

The path once so rug­ged and long;

I tread not in dark­ness and gloom

Each day I am jour­ney­ing on.

Each day all the way grows more bright

I know not its ter­ror and gloom;

I know that its beau­ti­ful light

Will shine ev­en thro’ the dark tomb.
