Tho’ some leaves have a tear,
And the cov­er shows wear,
Yet my Bi­ble is pre­cious to me;
For it tells how in love Je­sus came from ab­ove,
That from sin I might ev­er be free.

Refrain

My old Bi­ble tells me what is right,
My old Bi­ble cheers me day and night,
My old Bi­ble is a shin­ing ray,
For it guides me all along life’s way.

Refrain

For this Book is a guide, what­so­ev­er be­tide,
For it bright­ens and light­ens my way;
The old sto­ry so true, al­ways seems to be new
As I read in my Bi­ble each day.

Refrain

Then I will not des­pair, tho’ I have grief and care,
For I know that each pro­mise is mine;
This old Book, like a friend, will be true to the end,
For I know that God’s Book is di­vine.

Refrain
