Go, Study the Bible

Go

stu­dy the Bi­ble; God’s Word is a light

That bright­ly will shine in your way;

’Twill warn you of dan­gers

’twill lead you aright

From time to eter­ni­ty’s day.

Go

stu­dy the Bi­ble! Go

read it with pray­er;

And look for the trea­sures of love hid­den there;

Search well thro’ its pag­es for Heav­en’s bright ore

As years hast­en on­ward

we’ll prize it still more.

Go

stu­dy the Bi­ble; sweet mo­ments em­ploy

In hear­ing the voice of the Lord;

In sor­row

a com­fort; in serv­ice

a joy;

In bat­tle

a con­quer­ing sword.

Go

stu­dy the Bi­ble; a store­house com­plete

A ta­ble our Fa­ther hath spread

Where wis­dom

and mer­cy and love ev­er meet;

There ga­ther the soul’s dai­ly bread.

Go

stu­dy the Bi­ble; the ma­rin­er’s chart

Will guide him across the dark wave;

But pre­cious

more pre­cious this Book to the heart

It tells us that Je­sus will save.
