From the Word of God light is shining brightly out
O�er life�s ocean, tempest driv�n,
Guiding past the rocks and the hidden shoals of doubt
To the blissful port of Heav�n.
Refrain
The old Book stands! O yes, it stands!
Firm as a rock �mid shifting sands!
Billows may run high, tempests sweep the sky;
Firmly the old Book stands!
All its promises are more precious, far, than gold,
Or than pearls from deepest sea;
�Whosoever will� is the truth it doth unfold,
Precious truth for you and me.
Refrain
In this precious Book is the dear old story told,
Of the Savior and His love;
And with joy we read of the streets of purest gold,
The Jerusalem above.
Refrain
Precious Book of life, let us treasure each command,
Heeding every precept giv�n,
Till the strife is o�er and victorious we stand
With the blood washed throng in Heav�n.
Refrain
