What says the Bible? few can tell

This should my only question be;
Teachings of men so often mislead us,
What says the book of God to me?
Chorus:
What says the Bible? few can tell;
What says the Bible? study it well.
Keep the commandments, the ten commandments,
Look for the coming Saviour too.

Few ever seek to know or do;
Yet there are some who try to improve it,
Touching the fourth commandment too. [Chorus]
3 How will you answer at Jesus' coming
Ye who Jehovah's law construe?
Can you reply, "I've kept the commandments"?
Answer the question, each of you. [Chorus] Scripture: Matthew 15:9 Tune Title: WHAT SAYS THE BIBLE?

This book is all that's left me now
Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1410 (1886) Topics: Bible Songs Special Selections Lyrics: 1 This book is all that's left me now,
Tears will unbidden start;
With faltering lip and throbbing brow,
I press it to my heart;
For many generations past
Here is our family tree;
My mother's hands this Bible clasped;
She, dying, gave it to me.
2 Ah! well do I remember those
Whose names these records bear;
Who round the hearth stone used to close,
After the evening prayer,
And speak of what these pages said,
In tones my heart would thrill!
Tho' they are with the silent dead
Yet are they living still.
3 My father read this holy book
To brothers, sisters, dear;
How calm was my poor mother's look,
Who loved God's word to hear.
Her angel face I see it yet!
What thronging memories come!
Again that little group is met,
Within the walls of home.
4 Thou truest friend man ever knew,
Thy constancy I've tried;
When all were false I've found thee true
My counsellor and guide.
The mines of earth no treasures give
That could this volume buy
In teaching me the way to live,
It taught me how to die. Tune Title: MY MOTHER'S BIBLE
This book is all that's left me now

new be your song as new honors you pay.
Sing of his majesty, praise him forever,
show his salvation from day to day.
2 Tell of his wondrous works, tell of his glory
till through the nations his name is revered.
Praise and exalt him, for he is almighty;
God over all, let the LORD be feared.
3 Vain are the idols and gods of the nations;
God made the heavens, and his glory they tell.
Splendor and majesty shine out before him;
glory and strength in his temple dwell.
4 Give unto God Most High glory and honor;
come with your offerings and humbly draw near.
Worship the LORD in all beauty and splendor;
tremble before him with godly fear.
5 Say to the nations, "The LORD reigns forever."
Earth is established as he did decree.
Righteous and just is the King of the nations,
judging the peoples with equity.
6 Let heaven and earth be glad; oceans, be joyful;
forest and field, exultation express.
For God is coming, the judge of the nations,
coming to judge in his righteousness.
