Hymnal: Minnetonka Songs #18b (1879) First Line: There's a book which surpasses all sages Lyrics: 1 There’s a book which surpasses the sages,
A volume of wisdom divine;
And the glory that gleams from its pages,
No splendor of earth can outshine.
Chorus:
'Tis the Bible! the Bible!
Our guiding star that leads from earth to heav'n!
The Bible! the Bible!
We love the precious Book of Truth which God has giv'n.
'Tis the blessed, blessed Bible! the blessed, blessed Bible!
Our guiding star that leads from earth to heav'n!
The blessed, blessed Bible! the blessed, blessed Bible!
We love the precious Book of Truth which God has giv'n.
2 ’Tis the light which will guide us to glory,
The sword of the spirit of might;
And to dwell on its beautiful story,
Is of heaven the sweetest delight.
Chorus:
Oh, the Bible! Bible!
Our guiding star that leads from earth to heav'n!
The Bible! the Bible!
We love the precious Book of Truth which God has giv'n.
'Tis the blessed, blessed Bible! the blessed, blessed Bible!
Our guiding star that leads from earth to heav'n!
The blessed, blessed Bible! the blessed, blessed Bible!
We love the precious Book of Truth which God has giv'n.
3 It reveals where the fountain is flowing,
Which washes the soul from its stain;
Age and sorrow are comforted, knowing
With earth they shall part with their pain.

The Bible! Bible!
Our guiding star that leads from earth to heav'n!
The Bible! the Bible!
We love the precious Book of Truth which God has giv'n.

Our guiding star that leads from earth to heav'n!
The blessed, blessed Bible! the blessed, blessed Bible!
