There is a book more precious
Than anything on earth.
No wealth of gold or jewels
Can equal it in worth.
I go to it in trouble,
And though my heart is sore,
It always gives me comfort,
I love it more and more.
When doubtful what is best for me,
I seek its guidance true;
And if I search with open mind,
It tells me what to do.
I lay it on my pillow
Or I clasp it to my.breast,
When I am sad or lonely,
It always gives me rest.
My BIBLE is the WRITTEN WORD:
The living Word, is He -
So my Bible, and my Saviour
Are all the same to me.
His Holy Spirit leads me
His Word to understand.
So as I hold my Bible
The Saviour holds my hand,
- Emma Tubbs McChesney
