O change­less Word of life and light,
A per­fect rule to guide me,
I take thy coun­sels, trust thy truth,
And in my heart I hide thee.

Refrain

Precious Bi­ble, pre­cious Bi­ble,
Book by in­spi­ra­tion given;
Precious Bi­ble, pre­cious Bi­ble,
Light to guide our souls to Heav’n!

Thou Book di­vine, thy pag­es shine
With Heav’n’s un­fad­ing glo­ry;
Thou dost re­veal to mor­tals here
The great re­demp­tion sto­ry.

Refrain

Here law and love and wis­dom stand
Revealed through by­gone ag­es,
And child­ren read a mes­sage sweet
Upon thy sim­ple pages.

Refrain

Untouched by time, or men’s as­saults,
This Word re­mains un­shak­en,
And those who build upon this rock
Will ne­ver be for­sak­en.
