134. Blessed Bible, how I love it

1 Blessed Bible, how I love it,
How it doth my bosom cheer;
What on earth like this to covet,
O what stores of wealth are here.

Chorus:
This my guide, this my guide,
This my guide ever be:
All along my pilgrim journey,
This my guide shall ever be! [Chorus]

2 Yes, sweet Bible! I will hide thee
Deep, yes, deeper in this heart;
Thou through all my life wilt guide me,
And in death we will not part. [Chorus]

3 Part in death? no, never! never!
Through death's vale I'll lean on thee;
Then in worlds above, for ever,
Sweeter still thy truths shall be. [Chorus]
