Chorus: Ask for the Guide Book, search the blessed Guide Book; Read it, heed it, on your upward way; Ask for the Guide Book, search the blessed Guide Book; Read your Bible every day. 2 Heed not the voices that bid you remain, Heed not the false guides who seek only gain; Ask for the Guide Book, its teachings are true, Heeding it daily will carry you through.

F. E. Belden

1858 - 1945 Author of "The Guide Book" Belden was born in Battle Creek, Michigan in 1858. He began writing music in his late teenage years after moving to California with his family. For health reasons he later moved to Colorado. He returned to Battle Creek with his wife in the early 1880s, and there he became involved in Adventist Church publishing. F. E. Belden wrote many hymn tunes, gospel songs, and related texts in the early years of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Belden was able to rapidly write both music and poetry together which enabled him to write a song to fit a sermon while it was still being delivered. He also wrote songs for evangelist Billy Sunday. Though Belden’s later years were marred by misunderstandings with the church leadership over his royalties, he did donate his papers and manuscripts to the church’s seminary at his death. He died on December 2, 1945 in Battle Creek, Michigan. N.N., Hymnary. Source: http://www.hymntime.com/tch/bio/b/e/l/belden_fe.htm
