Go, Study the Bible

Author: Eliza Edmunds Hewitt Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1987 First Line: Go, study the Bible; God's Word is a light Refrain First Line: Go, study the Bible! Go, read it with prayer Lyrics: 1. Go, study the Bible; God’s Word is a light That brightly will shine in your way; ’Twill warn you of dangers, ’twill lead you aright, From time to eternity’s day. Refrain Go, study the Bible! Go, read it with prayer; And look for the treasures of love hidden there; Search well thro’ its pages for Heaven’s bright ore, As years hasten onward, we’ll prize it still more. 2. Go, study the Bible; sweet moments employ In hearing the voice of the Lord; In sorrow, a comfort; in service, a joy; In battle, a conquering sword. [Refrain] 3. Go, study the Bible; a storehouse complete, A table our Father hath spread, Where wisdom, and mercy and love ever meet; There gather the soul’s daily bread. [Refrain] 4. Go, study the Bible; the mariner’s chart Will guide him across the dark wave; But precious, more precious this Book to the heart, It tells us that Jesus will save. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Go, study the Bible; God's Word is a light]

Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878.
