The Bible

Hymnal: Linden Harp #82 (1855) First Line: The Bible--the Bible! more precious than gold Lyrics: 1 The Bible--the Bible! more precious than gold, The hopes and the glories its pages unfold; It speaks of salvation--wide opens the door-- Its offers are free to the rich and the poor; The Bible! the Bible! blest volume of truth, How sweetly it smiles on the season of youth; It bids us seek early the "pearl of great price," Ere the heart is enslaved in the bondage of vice. 2 The Bible--the Bible! we hail it with joy, Its truths and its glories our tongues shall employ; We'll sing of its triumphs, we'll tell of its worth, And send its glad tidings afar o'er the earth; The Bible! the Bible! the valleys shall ring, And hilltops reecho the notes that we sing; Our banners, inscribed with its precepts and raise, Shall long wave in triumph, the joy of our schools.
