I’ll not give up the Bi­ble,
That pre­cious book di­vine,
For glo­ry gilds its pag­es,
And truth ad­orns each line.

Refrain

I’ll ne­ver give up that ho­ly book,
I’ll ne­ver give up the Bi­ble;
I’ll ne­ver give up that ho­ly book,
That pre­cious book di­vine.

Though foes may fight against me,
And ene­mies com­bine,
Its pre­cepts still shall guide me,
As light from Heav’n they shine.

Refrain

When fate’s wild storms o’er­cloud me,
And loud the bil­lows roar,
My chart shall be the Bi­ble,
To guide to Heav’n’s bright shore.

Refrain
