Words: M. J. Smith, in Sacred Songs and Solos, 888 Pieces, by Ira D. Sankey (London: Morgan and Scott Ld., late 19th Century).
Music: James Ramsey Murray
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.
Refrain
Cling to the Bible!
Cling to the Bible!
Cling to the Bible-
Our Lamp and our Guide!
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!
Refrain
Lamp for the feet that in byways have wandered,
Guide for the youth that would otherwise fall;
Hope for the sinner whose life has been squandered,
Staff for the agèd, and best book of all.
Refrain
