I love to read the Bible,—
The precious message read;
I think it is amazing
That Christ for us should bleed.
It tells us in the Bible
That Christ, the Saviour, died;
He suffered on that cruel tree,—
For us was crucified.
He loves His sheep, the’ wayward,
And lambs that need His care;
He leads them all so tenderly
In pastures green and fair.
That’s why I love the Bible
And hope that others do;
Because this loving shepherd
Laid down His life for you.
I hope you’ll go to heaven
And with the Saviour spend
Your days in singing praises
That nevermore will end.
