1309. Ask for the Guide Book, the Bible from heav'n

1 Ask for the Guide Book, the Bible from heav'n;
For our salvation the pages were giv'n;
If of a truth you are seeking the way,
Ask for the Guide Book, believer, and obey.

Chorus:
Ask for the Guide Book, search the blessed Guide Book;
Read it, heed it, on your upward way;
Ask for the Guide Book, search the blessed Guide Book;
Read your Bible every day.

2 Heed not the voices that bid you remain,
Heed not the false guides who seek only gain;
Ask for the Guide Book, its teachings are true,
Heeding it daily will carry you through. [Chorus]

3 Thousands are trav'ling in death's downward way;
Few walk the path that is narrow today:
One ends in darkness, and one ends in light,
One is the wrong way, and one is the right. [Chorus]

4 Though you may teach that the Saviour has died,
Claim to be just, and appear sanctified,
Still, if the law of the Lord you deny,
"Vain your profession," the Lord will reply [Chorus]
