"We've traveled together, my Bible and I,
Through all kinds of weather with smiles and
with sigh;
In sorrow or sunshine, in tempest or calm,
Thy friendship unchanging, my Lamp and my Psalm.
"So now, who shall part us, my Bible and I?
Shall ism or schism, or new 'lights' who try?
Shall shadow for substance, or stone for good bread
Supplant its sound wisdom, give folly instead?
"Ah, no! My dear Bible, Revealer of Light,
Thou Sword of the Spirit, put error to flight!
And still through life's journey until the last sigh,
We'll travel together, my Bible and I.”
"Herein is love, not that we
loved God, but that He loved
us, and sent His Son to be the
propitiation for our sins.
