We love the blessed Bible

1	We love the blessed Bible,
	The glorious word of God:
	The lamp for those who travel
	O’er all life’s dreary road;
	The watchword in life’s battle,
	The chart on life’s dark sea;
	The everlasting Bible
	It shall our teacher be.

2	Who would not love the Bible
	So beautiful and wise!
	Its teachings charm the simple
	And all point to the skies;
	Its stories all so mighty
	Of men so brave to see;
	Divinely-given Bible,
	It shall our teacher be.

3	But most we love the Bible
	For there we children learn
	How Christ took on our childhood,
	Our hearts to Him to turn;
	And how He bowed to sorrow,
	That we His face might see;
	The Bible, oh! the Bible-
	It shall our teacher be.

4	Then we will hold the Bible
	The glorious Book of God;
	We’ll ne’er forsake the Bible,
	Through all life’s future road.
	And when we shall be dying,
	Whenever that may be,
	The comfort of the Bible
	Shall still our solace be.
