1306. Searching the Scriptures, the blessed Scriptures

1 Searching the Scriptures, the blessed Scriptures,
Seeking the Saviour day by day,
Striving to learn the wondrous story,
What does the blessed Bible say?

Chorus:
Go and inquire the King commandeth,
Ask of the Lord for me and thee;
Knock at the open door of mercy
Where there is pardon full and free.

2 Searching the Scriptures, the blessed Scriptures,
Seeking to know the heav'nly way,
Trying to reach the golden city,
What does the blessed Bible say? [Chorus]

3 Searching the Scriptures, the blessed Scriptures,
Seeking the wand'rers by the way,
Trying to point a soul to Jesus,
What does the blessed Bible say? [Chorus]
