\nThy light shall guide me
\nin the narrow way.
\nPrecept and promise,
\nlaw and love combining,
\n‘Til night shall vanish
\nin eternal day.<\/p>\n

\nGive me the Bible
\nwhen my heart is broken,
\nWhen sin and grief have
\nfilled my soul with fear,
\nGive me the precious
\nwords by Jesus spoken,
\nHold up faith’s lamp
\nto show my Savior near.<\/p>\n

\nGive me the Bible,
\nall my steps enlighten,
\nTeach me the danger
\nof these realms below,
\nThat lamp of safety,
\no’er the gloom shall brighten,
\nThat light alone
\nthe path of peace can show.<\/p>\n
