1 What is it shows my soul the way
To realms of everlasting day,
And tells the danger of delay?
It is the precious Bible,
It is the precious Bible.

2 What teaches me I'm bound to love
The glorious God who reigns above,
And that I may his goodness prove?
It is the precious Bible.

3 What is it gives my spirit rest,
When with the cares of earth oppress'd,
And points to regions of the blest?
It is the precious Bible.

4 What tells me that I soon must die,
And to the throne of judgment fly,
To meet the great Jehovah's eye?
It is the precious Bible.

5 Oh, may this treasure ever be
The best of all on earth to me,
And still new beauties may I see
In this the precious Bible.
