Lyrics

There’s a light in the Bi­ble for me,
Yes, for me, in the Book, I am told;
Oh, the light of its love
In its rich­ness I see,
As in faith I its pag­es un­fold.

Refrain

There’s a light in the Bi­ble,
That will shine thro’ the val­ley of death;
There’s a light in the Bi­ble,
That will shine thro’ the val­ley of death.

There’s a light in the Bi­ble for thee,
With a beau­ti­ful, beau­tif­ul beam;
’Tis the light for thy way
That its dan­gers may flee,
Oh, then, catch its bright, beau­ti­ful gleam.

Refrain

There’s a light in the Bi­ble for all,
It is beam­ing, all lov­ing and kind;
It will scat­ter the gloom
Of the doubts that en­thrall;
’Tis the pro­mise, who seek it shall find.
