There's A Book

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #107 (1935) First Line: There's a book which surpasses the sages Refrain First Line: 'Tis the Bible! the Bible! Lyrics: 1 There’s a book which surpasses the sages, A volume of wisdom divine; And the glory that gleams from its pages, No splendor of earth can outshine. Chorus: 'Tis the Bible! the Bible! Our guiding star that leads from earth to heav'n, The Bible! the Bible! We love the precious Book of Truth which God has giv'n. 2 ’Tis the light which will guide us to glory, The Sword of the Spirit of might; And to dwell on its beautiful story, Is of heaven the sweetest delight. [Chorus] 3 It reveals where the fountain is flowing, Which washes the soul from its stain; Age and sorrow are comforted, knowing With earth they shall part with their pain. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [There's a book which surpasses the sages]
