In the Blessèd Bible

Children

would you know the sto­ry

Of the Sav­ior

lov­ing

mild

How He left the realms of glo­ry

And be­came a lit­tle child?

In the Bi­ble

bless­èd Bi­ble

Book of books

the best by far

You can read the won­drous sto­ry

Of the wise men and the star.

Would you know His art­less child­hood

Free from sin and wick­ed strife

Full of smiles and lov­ing fa­vor

Brave and truth­ful in His life?

Read the Bi­ble

bless­èd Bi­ble

Read its pag­es all you can;

It will tell you how He la­bored

Loving God and bless­ing man.

Would you hear His words of wis­dom

See the glo­ry of His face;

How He blessed the lit­tle child­ren

Held them in His close em­brace?

In the Bi­ble

pre­cious Bi­ble

All this match­less love ap­pears;

How He healed the brok­en heart­ed

How He dried the mourn­er’s tears.

Would you know of that dark gar­den

Terraced on the mount­ain­side?

Would you know the taunts and jeer­ings

See the cross on which He died?

Read your Bi­ble

pre­cious Bi­ble;

All the sto­ry you may know

And the price of man’s re­demp­tion

Saved from sin and end­less woe.
