No book is like the Bible

October 26

No book is like the Bible,
For childhood, youth and age;
Our duty, plain and simple,
We find on every page.
It came by inspiration,
A light to guide our way,
A voice from Him who gave it,
Reproving when we stray.

It tells of man’s creation,
His sad, primeval fall;
It tells of man’s redemption,
Through Christ, who died for all.
In sacred words of wisdom,
It bids us watch and pray,
And early come to Jesus,
The Life, the Truth, the Way.

Oh, let us love the Bible,
And praise it more and more;
Our life is like a shadow,
Our days will soon be o’er.
But if we closely follow
The counsel God has given,
We then may hope with angels
To sing His praise in Heav’n.

Refrain
No book is like the Bible,
The blessed book we love;
The pilgrim’s chart of glory,
It leads, it leads,
It leads to God above.
     Fanny Crosby
