There’s a bless­èd book, and if sin­ners look
They will find the way to glo­ry;
While its pag­es rare young and old may share,
’Tis a won­drous old, old story.

Refrain

’Tis the liv­ing way to the realms of day,
Is this won­drous old, old sto­ry;
For it is the guide
To the Christ who died,
’Tis a won­drous old, old sto­ry.

There’s a bless­èd book, and if Chris­tians look,
They will find the path of du­ty;
’Tis the on­ly guide to the por­tals wide
Of the realms of heav’n­ly beau­ty.

Refrain

To the bless­èd Book we will ev­er look,
’Tis the Ho­ly Spi­rit call­ing,
From the way of sin it will sweet­ly win,
And it keeps the saint from fall­ing.
