GHS 116 : Carry Your Bible Lyrics
GHS 116, “Carry Your Bible,” is a practical devotional hymn that treats the Word of God not as something to be left on a shelf or visited on Sundays but as a daily companion to be taken everywhere a believer goes. The hymn speaks of the Bible as a supplier of blessings moment by moment, a word of pardon that grows sweeter day by day, a wondrous story of redemption for hearts plunged in sorrow, and a word of promise for sinners who need to know the path from sin to safety.
The refrain is simple and memorable, pressing the same message through each stanza: take it wherever you go. This hymn appears as number 116 in the Gospel Hymns and Songs (GHS) collection, used in Deeper Life Bible Church and related assemblies across West Africa, where the centrality of the Bible in everyday life is a defining mark of the faith community.
Hymn Lyrics – GHS 116: Carry Your Bible
- Carry your Bible with you, Let all its blessing outflow; It will supply you each moment, Take it wherever you go!
Take it wherever you go, Take it wherever you go; God’s message of love, Sent down from above, Oh, take it wherever you go!
-
Carry the word of pardon, Sweeter each day it will grow; Somewhere some heart will be waiting, Take it wherever you go!
-
Carry the wondrous story, Tell it to hearts plung’d in woe; This word of gracious redemption, Take it wherever you go!
-
Carry the word of promise, Sinners unpardoned may know God’s path from sin unto safety — Take it wherever you go!
