There is one thing in earnest I wish you to do;
Oh! Listen, my boy, while I say this to you—
Oh, cling to the Bible, my boy!
Refrain:
Then cling to the Bible, my boy;
Oh, cling to the Bible, my boy;
While living or dying, all else letting go—
Oh, cling to the Bible, my boy.
2 You may meet with misfortunes and sorrows and tears,
You may battle with sin and with Satan for years;
Be a Christian, press on! do not have any fears,
But cling to the Bible, my boy! [Refrain]
3 Put your faith in our Father and you will be strong;
Keep your eye on the cross and you’ll never go wrong;
Sing the sweet song of praise as you journey along,
And cling to the Bible, my boy! [Refrain]
4 Every time that you read it you’ll learn something new
Of Jesus who died on the cross to save you;
To the Lord, to yourself, and to heaven be true,
And cling to the Bible, my boy! [Refrain]
5 ‘Tis the anchor of hope, and the lamp that gives light,
‘Tis the star that will shin e through your life’s darkest night;
If you follow its guidance you’ll always be right—
Oh, cling to the Bible, my boy! [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [As your journey thro' life to the grave you pursue]
