Would you pre­cious trea­sure gain?
Would you end­less life obtain?
Search the Scrip­tures, for the truth is writ­ten there;
Let thy heart take ear­nest heed,
Let your faith each pro­mise plead,
God will teach the souls that read His word with care.

Refrain

Holy Bi­ble, God hath spok­en,
Let His Word di­rect my way;
Holy Bi­ble, won­drous to­ken,
I be­lieve thee, I re­ceive thee and ob­ey.

Would you lead young souls to­day
In the safe and nar­row way?
Take the sac­red mes­sage gi­ven from on high;
For the word of truth and grace
Is a light in ev­ery place,
That will teach us how to live and how to die.

Refrain

Till the day-star from above
Fill your heart with light and love
May the mu­sic of the Gos­pel on­ward roll;
Till the sha­dows are with­drawn,
And the light from Hea­ven dawn,
And the splen­dor flood the earth from pole to pole.

Refrain
