Have you found the Bible
That Josiah found?
Have you delved for treasure
In that holy ground?
Have you proved its pledges
Gloriously true?
Have you found the Bible?
Has the Book found you?
Have you found the Bible
Reaching to you heart?
Has it touched the fountain
Where the teardrops start?
Has it bathed your spirit
In its cleansing dew?
Have you found the Bible?
Has the Book found you?
Have you found the Bible
Helping in your work?
Does it give you courage
Not to faint nor shirk?
Is it strength for all things
You are set to do?
Have you found the Bible?
Has the Book found you?
Have you found the Bible
Ever giving light?
Does it cheer the darkness
Of the gloomy night?
When the troubles thicken
Does it pull you through?
Have you found the Bible?
Has the Book found you?
—by Amos R. Well (1862-1933)
