1 The Bible, the Bible! more precious than gold;
What hopes and what glories its pages unfold!
It speaks of redemption, wide opens the door—
It offers salvation to rich and to poor.
Refrain:
The Bible, the Bible, so dear to the heart!
A volume so precious, we’ll ne’er from it part.
2 The Bible, the Bible! blest volume of truth;
How sweetly it smiles on the season of youth!
Ere hearts are enslaved in the bondage of vice,
It bids us seek early the “pearl of great price.” [Refrain]
3 The Bible, the Bible! the valleys shall ring,
And hill-tops re-echo the notes that we sing;
Our banners inscribed with its precepts and rules,
Shall long wave in triumph, the joy of our schools. [Refrain]
