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

Cling to the Bible! This 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 wander’d

Guide for the youth that could otherwise fall

Hope for the sinner whose life has been squander’d

Staff for the aged, and best book of all
