Hymns - I Do Believe in the Bible - Текст песни

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.
