ENGLISH LYRICS: Cling to the Bible, tho' all else be taken

Search the Holy Scriptures.  John.5:39

1.  Cling to the Bible, tho' all else be taken;
    Lose not its precepts so precious and pure;
    Souls that are sleeping its tidings awaken;
    Life from the dead in its promises sure.

    Cling to the Bible!(3ce)
    Our Lamp and our Guide.

2. Cling to the Bible! This jewel and treasure.
    Brings life eternal, and saves fallen man;
    Surely its value no mortal can measure;
    Seek for its blessing, O soul, while you can!

3. Lamp for the feet that in by-ways have wander'd
    Guide for the youth that would other wise fall;
    Hope for the sinner whose life has been squander'd
    Staff for the aged, and best book of all.
Amen.
