WE'VE traveled together through life's rugged way,
O'er land and o'er water, by night and by day;
To travel without it I never would try;
We keep close together, my Bible and I.
In sorrow I've proved it my comfort and joy,
When weak, my strong tower which naught can
destroy;
Tho' death press upon me, the thought I may die,
We still are together, my Bible and I.
If powers of evil against me should come,
And threaten to rob me of heaven and home,
God's Word then directs me to Him in the sky;
And nothing can part us, my Bible and I.
When evil temptations are brought to my view,
And I, in my weakness, know not what to do,
On Christ, as my strength I am taught to rely;
So we keep on together, my Bible and I.
When life's path is ended; if Jesus should come
And take to Himself His dear purchased ones
home,
Or if, in long-suffering He waits till I die,
We shall never be parted, my Bible and I.
And when in the glory my Lord I behold,
With all His redeemed gathered safe in the fold,
My Bible and I close companions shall be,
For God's Word abides for all eternity.
