1 Tho’ the cover is worn, And the pages are torn, And tho’ places bear the traces of tears; Yet more precious than gold Is the Book, worn and old, That can shatter and scatter my fears. Refrain: This old Book is my guide, ‘Tis a friend by my side, It will lighten and brighten my way; And each promise I find Soothes and gladdens my mind As I read it and heed it today. 2 When I prayerfully look In the precious old Book, Many pleasures and treasures I see; Many tokens of love From the Father above, Who is nearest and dearest to me. [Refrain] 3 To this Book I will cling, Of its worth I will sing, Tho’ great losses and crosses be mine; For I cannot despair, Tho’ surrounded by care, While possessing this blessing divine. [Refrain] | Evangelistic Songs #29 (1927) |
