Give Me the Bible

Author: Priscilla J. Owens Appears in 56 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 19:7-10 First Line: Give me the Bible, star of gladness gleaming Lyrics: 1 Give me the Bible, star of gladness gleaming, To cheer the wand'rer lone and tempest-tossed; No storms can hide that radiance peaceful beaming Since Jesus came to seek and save the lost. Chorus: Give me the Bible, Holy message shining, Thy light shall guide me in the narrow way; Precept and promise, law and love combining, Till night shall vanish in eternal day. 2 Give me the Bible when my heart is broken, When sin and grief have filled my soul with fear; Give me the precious words by Jesus spoken, Hold up faith's lamp to show my Savior near. [Chorus] 3 Give me the Bible all my steps enlighten, Teach me the danger of these realms below; That lamp of safety o'er the gloom shall brighten, That light alone the path of peace can show. [Chorus] 4 Give me the Bible, lamp of life immortal, Hold up that splendor by the open grave; Show me the light from heaven's shining portals, Show me the glory gilding Jordan's wave. [Chorus] Topics: Bible Used With Tune: [Give me the Bible, star of gladness gleaming]

But in the Gospel Christ appears, Pard'ning the guilt of num'rous years. 4 My soul, no more attempt to draw Thy life and comfort from the Law.

God, we praise you, God, we bless you!

Author: Christopher M. Idle, b. 1938 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 31 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 19:12-13 Lyrics: 1 God, we praise you, God, we bless you! God, we name you sovereign Lord! Mighty King whom angels worship, Father, by your Church adored: all creation shows your glory, heaven and earth draw near your throne, singing 'Holy, holy, holy, Lord of hosts, and God alone!' 2 True apostles, faithful prophets, saints who set their world ablaze, martyrs, once unknown, unheeded, join one growing song of praise, while your church on earth confesses one majestic Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, God, our hope eternally. 3 Jesus Christ, the King of glory, everlasting Son of God, humble was your virgin mother, hard the lonely path you trod. By your cross is sin defeated, hell confronted face to face, heaven opened to believers, sinners justified by grace. 4 Christ, at God's right hand victorious, you will judge the world you made; Lord, in mercy help your servants for whose freedom you have paid. Raise us up from dust to glory, guard us from all sin today; King enthroned above all praises, save your people, God, we pray!
