My Bible and I
I have a companion of infinite worth;
We travel together through this dreary earth.
From pilgrimage here to a home in the sky,
We're traveling together, my Bible and I.
I have a companion, a wonderful guide!
A solace and comfort whatever betide;
A friend never failing when others pass by
Oh, blessed communion my Bible and I!
I have a companion, 'tis God's Holy Word,
Revealing from heaven the mind of my Lord;
My rock and my refuge when danger is nigh
We've blessings eternal, my Bible and I.
I have a companion, a heavenly light,
A pillar by day and a fire by night;
A lamp from the cradle until I shall die
What blessed communion my Bible and I!
I have a companion, a dear faithful friend,
A union of blessing that never shall end,
Till Jesus returns with His saints from on high,
We'll travel together, my Bible and I!
O light of my pathway! Thou lamp to my feet!
O manna from heaven! So precious and sweet.
For thee do I live, and for thee would I die,
Forever and ever, my Bible and I.
--M. H. Knobloch
