Author: Priscilla J. Owens Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1300 (1886) 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 storm can hide that peaceful radiance 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 Saviour 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 portal,
Show me the glory gilding Jordan's wave. [Chorus] Topics: Bible Songs Scriptures, Law, Sabbath Scripture: Psalm 119:105 Tune Title: GIVE ME THE BIBLE
