Author: William M. Whittemore Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10009 Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 First Line: We won’t give up the Bible Lyrics: 1 We won’t give up the Bible—
God’s holy book of truth;
The blessèd staff of hoary age,
The guide of early youth;
The lamp that sheds a glorious light
O’er every dreary road;
The voice that speaks a Savior’s love,
And calls us back to God.
2 We won’t give up the Bible,
For pleasure or for pain;
We’ll buy the truth, and sell it not
For all that we might gain;
Though man should try to take our prize,
By guile or cruel might,
We’ll suffer all that men can do,
And God defend the right!
3 We won’t give up the Bible,
But spread it far and wide,
Until its saving voice be heard
Beyond the rolling tide—
Till all shall feel its precious power:
While we, with voice and heart,
Resolve that from God’s sacred Word
We’ll never, never part!
