Text: | Dear Book of Life |
Author: | Fanny J. Crosby |
Tune: | [No book like the Bible] |
Composer: | W. H. Doane |
1 No book like the Bible, inspired from above,
No book like the Bible, God’s message of love;
Its pages of wisdom, how brightly they shine!
Its truth is eternal, its language divine.
Refrain:
Dear Book of Life, we cling to thee,
Our guide, our chart, on life’s dark sea;
Dear Book of Life, that God has giv’n,
Our hope on earth, our joy in heav’n.
2 No book like the Bible, with comfort replete,
Each soul-cheering promise, how precious and sweet!
It tells of a Saviour, and shows us the way
To realms that are fadeless and brighter than day. [Refrain]
3 O help us, dear Father, to walk in its light,
That keeps us from evil, and leads us aright;
To treasure the wisdom its pages unfold,
A wisdom more precious than silver or gold. [Refrain]
