1. What light is this whose constant ray
Reveals to trav’lers lost the way
To mansions of eternal day?
God’s holy book, the Bible.
Refrain
I love the Bible, I love the Bible,
A light to shine upon my path,
I love, I love the Bible.
2. What faithful chart on life’s rough sea,
What compass true where’er we be,
What anchor for eternity?
God’s holy book, the Bible. [Refrain]
3. What sword enables us to fight
Against sin’s pow’rs and Satan’s might?
Gives victory for God and right?
God’s holy book, the Bible. [Refrain]
