My Mother's Bible Lyrics & Chords

By Milan B. Williams & Charles D. Tillman

Verse 1

(D)There's a dear and precious Book,

Though it's worn and (B)faded (G)now,

Which re(D)calls those happy (F)days of long (A)ago,

When I (D)stood at mother's knee,

With her (G)hand upon my brow,

And I (D)heard her voice in (F)gentle (A)tones and (D)low.



Chorus

(D)Blessed (A)Book, precious (D)Book,

On thy (G)dear old tear stained (F)leaves I love to (A)look;

Thou art (D)sweeter day by day, as I (G)walk the narrow way

That (D)leads at last to (F)that bright (A)home above.



Verse 2

As she read the stories o’er

Of those mighty men of old,

Of Joseph and of Daniel and their trials,

Of little David bold,

Who became a king at last,

Of Satan and his many wicked wiles.



Chorus

Blessed Book, precious Book,

On thy dear old tear stained leaves I love to look;

Thou art sweeter day by day, as I walk the narrow way

That leads at last to that bright home above.



Verse 3

Then she read of Jesus’ love,

As He blessed the children dear,

How He suffered, bled and died upon the tree;

Of His heavy load of care,

Then she dried my flowing tears

With her kisses as she said it was for me.



Verse 4

Well, those days are past and gone,

But their memory lingers still

And the dear old Book each day has been my guide;

And I seek to do His will,

As my mother taught me then,

And ever in my heart His Words abide.
