16. Just Leave It Alone

1 Some doubters are trying God’s Word to revise,
Just leave it alone, just leave it alone;
No longer this line or that passage they prize,
Don’t change it, just leave it alone.

Refrain:
Just leave it alone,
'Tis God’s blessed word,
Whose Son did for evil atone;
Each word and each line tells of goodness divine,
Don’t change it, just leave it alone.

2 No mortal can better this message of old.
Just leave it alone, just leave it alone;
‘Tis far the best story that ever was told,
Don’t change it, just leave it alone. [Refrain]

3 ‘The army of martyrs” believed ev’ry word,
Just leave it alone, just leave it alone;
The souls of the saints and the sages it stirred,
Don’t change it, just leave it alone. [Refrain]

4 It’s light is the same as in ages gone by,
Just leave it alone, just leave it alone;
And still its great Giver is reigning on high,
Don’t change it, just leave it alone. [Refrain]
