’Tis so sweet to read my Bible,
Word by word and day by day;
As I read the Lord speaks to me!
On His word I’ll ever stay.

I would read my Bible.
Oh how dear, Him to hear,
As I read my Bible.

There’s a feast spread in the Bible,
For His word is man’s true food.
How I long to eat more, for I,
Have tasted the Lord is good.

So much wealth is in the Bible,
Mine its words for precious ore.
In it I find all God’s riches,
They become my treasure store!

Words of love are in the Bible,
Unveiling the Author’s heart.
These words draw and woo His seekers,
Making them His counterpart.

Yet, most precious in the Bible,
Is not wisdom, truth and grace.
But behind its words is Jesus!
I behold Him face to face.
Is not wisdom, truth and grace.
But behind its words is Jesus!
I behold Him face to face.
Face to face! Face to face!
While I read my Bible.
He is near, He is here,
As I read my Bible.
While I read my Bible.
He is near, He is here,
As I read my Bible.
