Love the Bi­ble, bless­èd book of heav’n­ly truth,
Words of beau­ty shin­ing, love and du­ty twin­ing;
Bear it dai­ly in the ten­der heart of youth,
Every thought and word re­fin­ing.

Refrain

This is the pow­er of God un­to life,
Wisdom’s sac­red pre­cepts for the way;
Sword of Spi­rit, giv­ing vic­to­ry in the strife—
God’s own book, the bless­èd Bi­ble.

Know the Bi­ble, read its pag­es o’er and o’er,
Gathering trea­sure sur­est, find­ing plea­sure purest,
Of His pow­er and mer­cy learn­ing more and more—
Thus true wis­dom thou se­cur­est.

Refrain

Live the Bi­ble, in the life its pre­cepts show,
Humbly pray­ing ev­er, work de­lay­ing ne­ver;
Thus in life and death thy trust­ing heart shall know
Peace, sweet peace, that none can se­ver.

Refrain
