No book for our souls like the Bible;
Everything else may deceive;
Reading the kind words of Jesus,
What can we do but believe?
No book for our hearts like the Bible,
Telling us the love of God—
Proving that sinners are pardoned,
Ransomed and purchased by blood.
No book for our path like the Bible,
Showing where sin leads astray;
Pointing our eyes off to Jesus—
The Light, the Life, and the Way.
O, what can compare with the Bible,
Spreading its blessings around,
Pouring out streams of salvation
Just where poor sinners are found?
