Far More Precious Than Gold

The Bi­ble our guide

far more pre­cious than gold

The half of its glo­ries have nev­er been told;

Its won­der­ful words for the old and the young

The grand­est e’er spok­en by poor mor­tal tongue.

Far more pre­cious than gold

More pre­cious than gold

The won­der­ful things re­vealed to us

Are far more pre­cious than gold.

The Bi­ble our coun­sel

re­veals pre­cious truth

Support for the ag­èd

the guide of our youth;

A com­fort by night

and a guide for the day

And glo­ri­ous things at the end of the way.

Exceeding great pro­mis­es here do we see

And they are most pre­cious to you and to me;

The pro­mise that He will be with us alway

Then we shall be with Him for­ev­er to stay.

The won­der­ful things in the Bi­ble con­tained

Most heart stir­ring tid­ings man ev­er pro­claimed;

The won­der­ful things of the Bi­ble are true

And this is the dear­est

that Je­sus loves you.
