Cling to the Bible,though all else be taken;
Lose not its precepts so precious and pure;
Souls that are sleeping its 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!
Cling to the Bible!-this 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!
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 Book for all!
CHORUS
Cling to the Bible!
Cling to the Bible!
Cling to the Bible!
Our lamp and our guide!
