The BIBLE - holy message shining

Yesterday, our Bible study was about its origin. Now here's more about it!

GIVE ME THE BIBLE

-Priscilla J. Owens

Give me the Bible,

star of gladness gleaming,

To cheer the wanderer lone

and tempest tossed,

No storm can hide 

that peaceful radiance beaming,

Since Jesus came to seek

and save the lost.

Give me the Bible

when my heart is broken,

When sin and grief

have filled my soul with fear;

Give me the precious words

by Jesus spoken,

Hold up faith's lamp

to show my Savior near.

Give me the Bible,

all my steps enlighten,

Teach me the dangers

of these realms below;

That lamp of safety,

o'er the gloom shall brighten,

That light alone

the path of peace can show.

Give me the Bible-

holy message shining,

Thy light shall guide me

in the narrow way.

Precept and promise,

law and love combining,

'Till night shall vanish in eternal day.
