1 What light is this shining so brightly for me,
That gives me such courage the right way to see?
What hope for my trusting soul ever shall be?
God's wonderful book divine.

Refrain:
Love the old Bible, precious old Bible,
A light on my pathway to shine;
It keeps me so happy, always so happy,
God's wonderful book divine.

2 What hope for the trav'ler with strength almost gone,
That makes him determined to keep plodding on?
What sweet consolation from heaven's bright throne?
God's wonderful book divine. [Refrain]

3 What chart can you trust as a guide for the soul
When tempests would strand you on some trech'rous shoal?
What compass will point you to heaven's bright goal?
God's wonderful book divine. [Refrain]
