“Search the scriptures”-John 5:39
1 Cling to the Bible, though 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
Chorus Cling to the Bible!
Cling to the Bible!
Cling to the Bible!
Our Lamp and our Guide
2 Cling to the Bible! The jewel and treasure;
Bring 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 wandered,
Staff for the aged and best seek of all.
Guide for the youth that would otherwise fall;
Hope for the sinner whose life has been squandered,
