Blessèd Book

There’s a bless­èd book

and if sin­ners look

They will find the way to glo­ry;

While its pag­es rare young and old may share

’Tis a won­drous old

old sto­ry.

’Tis the liv­ing way to the realms of day

Is this won­drous old

old sto­ry;

For it is the guide

To the Christ who died

’Tis a won­drous old

old sto­ry.

There’s a bless­èd book

and if Christ­ians look

They will find the path of du­ty;

’Tis the on­ly guide to the por­tals wide

Of the realms of heav’n­ly beau­ty.

To the bless­èd Book we will ev­er look

’Tis the Ho­ly Spir­it call­ing

From the way of sin it will sweet­ly win

And it keeps the saint from fall­ing.
