Cling To The Bible, Though All Else Be Taken Hymn Lyrics

1

Cling to the Bible, though all else be taken ;

Lose not its precepts so precious and pure ;

Souls that are sleeping its tidings awaken :

Life from the dead in its promises sure.

Cling to the Bible ! Cling to the Bible !

Cling to the Bible—- Our Lamp and our Guide !

2

Cling to the Bible ! this jewel and treasure

Brings life eternal, and saves fallen man ;

Surely its value no mortal can measure :

Seek for its blessing, O soul, while you can !

3

Lamp for the feet that in by-ways

have wandered, [otherwise fall ;

Guide for the youth that would

Hope for the sinner whose life has

been squandered,

Staff for the aged, and best book of all.
