Lyrics

Give me the dear old Bi­ble as my guide each day,
Be it my help and com­fort on my pil­grim way,
Until the gates of glo­ry I at last shall see,
The dear old Bi­ble is good enough for me.

Refrain

Good enough for me, good enough for me,
The dear old Bi­ble is good enough for me.
Good enough for me, good enough for me,
The dear old Bi­ble is good enough for me.

Give me the dear old Bi­ble as my teach­er true,
Precious the words of pro­mise, old, yet ev­er new;
On ev­ery page the love of God I plain­ly see,
The dear old Bi­ble is good enough for me.

Refrain

Give me the dear old Bi­ble as a shin­ing light,
That will il­lum­ine me and guide my steps aright,
Be it my sword to drive away the en­emy,
The dear old Bi­ble is good enough for me.

Refrain

Give me the dear old Bi­ble when my life shall end,
When in the vale of sha­dow it will com­fort lend;
It shall en­dure for time and all eter­ni­ty,
The dear old Bi­ble is good enough for me.
