Author: Mary Irene McLean Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5733 Refrain First Line: Read the Bible Lyrics: 1. Read to me the blessèd Bible, On its sacred pages shine Grace and truth and tender mercy, And a Savior’s love divine. Refrain Read the Bible, Now the lamp of life burns low, These will cheer me, When the agèd feet move slow. 2. ’Tis a fount of living water, Where the soul its thirst may slake, Bread of life it freely offers, Unto all who will partake. [Refrain] 3. Read to me the blessèd Bible, Read it carefully and slow, ’Tis a refuge and a shelter, From the stormy winds that blow. [Refrain] 4. It is comfort for the troubled, To the lonely ’tis a guest, For the penitent, ’tis pardon, To the weary it is rest. [Refrain] 5. When you read about the City, Whose fair day ne’er ends with night, Death is not the king of terrors, But a messenger of light.
