18. The Bible

1 We love to read the Bible,
The blessed Word of God,
It teaches us the pathway
By Christ the Saviour trod.
A lamp to guide our footsteps,
A light to point the way,
Unto the homes eternal
Beyond the shadows gray.

Refrain:
We love the Bible,
And read its pages o’er;
To store our minds with treasures,
Of rich and heav’nly lore.

2 We love to read the Bible,
Our hearts within us burn,
As there the sweet old story
Of Jesus’ love we learn.
O precious, precious Bible,
At morn, at noon, or night,
We meditate, like David,
Upon it with delight. [Refrain]
