Give Me the Bible
[Verse 1]
G C Bm D7 G
Give me the Bible, star of gladness gleaming,

To cheer the wanderer lone and tempest tossed,
G C Bm D7 G
No storm can hide that peaceful radiance beaming,
C D7 G
Since Jesus came to seek and save the lost.
[Refrain]

Give me the Bible holy message shining,

Thy light shall guide me in the narrow way.

Precept and prom-ise, law and love com-bining,
C D7 G
Till night shall vanish in eternal day.
[Verse 2]
G C Bm D7 G
Give me the Bible when my heart is broken,

Give me the pre-cious words by Jesus spoken,

Hold up faith’s lamp to show my Savior near.
[Refrain]

Give me the Bible holy message shining,

Give me the Bible, all my steps en-lighten,

That lamp of safe-ty, o’er the gloom shall brighten,
C D7 G
That light alone the path of peace can show.
