Refrain: ’Tis precious to my heart, and a blessing ’twill impart, It teaches me of Him who leads the way; And I love it more and more, as I read its pages o’er, For the dear old Book grows sweeter day by day! 2 It tells me of a Savior whose love is all divine, The gift of free salvation, and joys which may be mine; And all His words of promise, which cheer me on the way, The dear old Book grows sweeter day by day! [Refrain] 3 Its words of holy counsel are like a guiding light, To turn my feet from evil and point me to the right; ’Twill bless me on my journey along the upward way, The dear old Book grows sweeter day by day!
