Blessed Bible [compact disc]

From: Where home is / The Harmoneion Singers [compact disc]

Verse
Blessed Bible, how I love it!
How it doth my bosom cheer!
What hath earth like this to covet!
O, what stores of wealth are here!
Man was lost and doomed to sorrow,
Not one ray of light or bliss,
Could he from earth's treasures borrow,
'Till his way was cheered by this.

Verse
Yes, I'll to my bosom press thee,
Precious word, I'll hide thee here!
Sure my very heart will bless thee,
For thou ever say'st "Good Cheer!"
Speak, my heart, and tell thy pond'rings,
Tell how far thy rovings led!
When this Book brought back thy wan'drings,
Speaking life as from the dead.
Yes, sweet Bible, I will hide thee,
Hide thee richly in this heart;
Thou, through all my life will guide me,
And in death we will not part!
Part in death (no never, never),
Through death's vale I'll lean on thee.
Then in worlds above, forever,
Sweeter still thy truths shall be.
