Ask for the Guide Book

Ask for the Guide Book, the Bible from heav'n;

1

Ask for the Guide Book, the Bible from heav'n;For our salvation its pages were giv'n;If of a truth you are seeking the way,Ask for the Guide Book, believe, and obey.

Chorus.

Ask for the Guide Book, search the blessed Guide Book;Read it, heed it, on your upward way;Ask for the Guide Book, search the blessed Guide Book;Read your Bible every day.

2

Heed not the voices that bid you remain,Heed not the false guides who seek only gain;Ask for the Guide Book,—its teachings are true,—Heeding it daily will carry you through.

3

Thousands are trav'ling in death's downward way;Few walk the path that is narrow to-day:One ends in darkness, and one ends in light,—One is the wrong way, and one is the right.

4

Though you may teach that the Saviour has died,Claim to be just, and appear sanctified,—Still, if the law of the Lord you deny,"Vain your profession," the Lord will reply.
