I do believe the Bible, the bless?©d Word of God, And close unto its promises I cleave. It points me to the pathway the saints and martyrs trod, My Father is its Author, and I believe. Refrain Yes, I believe the bless??d Word of God, It marks the paths His people all have trod; The story, from creation, all thro??? to ???Revelation,??? Bears proof of inspiration, and I believe. It was my parents??? counsel; to them its truths were grand. And mem???ry oft a picture sweet doth weave Of that ???old-fashioned Bible that lay upon the stand,??? In life, in death, it cheered them, and I believe. Refrain I once was lost and dying, in darkness and despair, And o???er my lost condition long I grieved, Until I searched the Bible and learned of Jesus there, Who sweetly blest and saved me when I believed. Refrain Bold infidels may cavil, and scorn the bless?©d Book, And with their groundless doctrines may deceive; Still all the while the Bible brings peace to those who look With faith upon its pages, and I believe.
