[Ab] There's a dear and precious book, though it's worn and faded now, which recalls those happy
[F] days of long [Eb] ago.
When [Ab] I stood at mother's knee, with her [Db] hand upon my brow, [Ab] and I heard her [Bbm] voice in [Eb] gentle
tones and [Ab] low,
Blessed [Eb] book, [Ab] precious book,
All my dear old taste [Bb] ain't these I love to [Eb]
[Eb] love.
Now what's sweeter day [Ab] by day, as [Db] I walk the narrow way,
[Ab] That leads at [Bb] last to that [Eb] bright home above.
[Ab] As she read the stories of [Db] those mighty men of old,
[Ab] Of Joseph and [Bb] of Daniel and their [Eb]
trials,
[Ab] Of little David bold, who became a [Db] king at last,
Of [Ab] Satan [Bbm] and his [Eb] many [Ab] wicked ones.
Blessed [Eb] book, precious [Ab] book,
[Db] All my [Ab] dear old taste [Bb] ain't these I love [Eb] to love.
Now [Ab] what's sweeter day by day, as I [Db] walk the narrow way,
[Ab] That leads at last [Bb] to that [Eb] bright home above.
[Ab] Then she [Eb] read of [Ab] Jesus' love, as [Db] he blessed the children [Eb] dear,
How [Fm] he suffered, bled, and [D] died upon [Bbm] the tree.
[Bb] [Ab] Of his heavy load, then [Db] she dried my flowing [Ab]
tears,
With [Fm] her kisses [Bb] as she [Eb] said it was [Ab] for me.
Blessed [Bbm] [Eb] book, [Cm] precious [Ab] book,
All my dear old taste [Bb] ain't these I love to [Bbm]
love.
[Eb] [Ab] Now what's sweeter day by day, as I walk the narrow way,
[Fm] That leads at last to that [Eb] bright home [Ab]
above.
Well, those days are passed on, but [Db] the memory [Eb] lingers still,
And the [Ab] dear old book each day [Gm] has been my guide.
[Eb] [Ab] And I sing to do his will, as my mother taught me then,
[Fm] And ever in my heart [Eb] his words [Ab]
[Eb] abound.
Blessed [Bbm] [Eb] book, [Ab] precious book,
All [Db] my dear old taste [Bb] ain't these I love to love.
[Eb] Now [Ab] what's sweeter day by day, as [Db] I walk the narrow [Ab]
way,
[Fm] That leads at last to that [Eb] bright [Ab] home above.
