When troubles come, the world presses in,

The nations are sinking so deeply in sin,

God’s children turn to this precious gift,

His Word the weary soul uplifts.

Refrain

The Bible helps! The Bible helps!

The Holy Book written by God Himself.

It cheers the heart and calms the mind.

He leads and guides us with every line.

Now God’s elect, though wretched and poor,

Afflictions arise and we search all the more,

The volume of God’s book from above,

Delivers wisdom, mercy and love.

Refrain

We hope in God, so steadfast and sure.

The Scriptures give strength all our pain to endure.

When sorrows come at His feet we shall fall,

His Word provides great comfort for all.

Refrain

O Babylon, the world’s been thrown down,

Now darkness and madness and chaos abounds;

Lord Jesus gives by paper and pen,

The truth we need to endure till the end.

Refrain

O thank the Lord, the Omnipotent reigns,

These wonderful words to Thy sheep we proclaim.

God’s mighty voice in each page resounds,

The book where His glorious Word is found.
