Lyrics

O bless­èd, bless­èd Bi­ble,
Our trea­sured book di­vine,
With hope, and joy, and com­fort,
Thy pag­es bright­ly shine.

Refrain

More pre­cious still than ru­bies,
More pure than pur­est gold,
Our bless­èd, bless­èd Bi­ble,
Thy worth can ne’er be told.

Thou tell­est us of Je­sus,
The Son of God above,
Who came the world to ransom,
So great His won­drous love.

Refrain

O bless­èd, bless­èd Bi­ble,
That God Him­self hath giv’n,
To fit us for His king­dom,
Of end­less life in Heav’n.
