That precious book divine,
For glory gilds its pages,
And truth adorns each line.
Refrain.
I値l never give up that holy book,
I値l never give up the Bible;
I値l never give up that holy book,
That precious book divine.
2. Though foes may fight against me,
And enemies combine,
Its precepts still shall guide me,
As light from heav地 they shine.
Refrain.
I値l never give up that holy book,
I値l never give up the Bible;
I値l never give up that holy book,
That precious book divine.
3. When fate痴 wild storms
o弾rcloud me,
And loud the billows roar,
My chart shall be the Bible,
To guide to heav地痴 bright shore.
Refrain.
I値l never give up that holy book,
I値l never give up the Bible;
I値l never give up that holy book,
That precious book divine.
