Read the Bible,
when you're weary and blue.
Why don't you read the Bible,
brother, every word is true.
Take your troubles to the
Book of Life and pray.
Read the Bible every day.
Joshua and David had their worries,
had their troubles in their days
But they knew no harm
could overcome them
when they heard somebody say
Now, brother, read the Bible
when you're weary and blue
Read the Bible, brother,
every word is true
Take your troubles to the
Book of Life and pray,
Read the Bible every day.
Should old sin begin to overtake you
And old Satan's at your door
Read the book,
for there you'll find the answer,
and sin will trouble you no more.
Now, sister, read the Bible
when you're weary and blue.
Read the Bible, sister,
every word is true.
Take your troubles to the
book of life and pray.
Read the Bible every day.
Let the rock of ages be your altar,
read a chapter every day.
Raise your eyes
toward the skies above you
Kneel right down and start to pray
Now children, read the Bible
when you're weary and blue
Why don't you?
Read the Bible, children,
every word is true
Take your troubles to the
Book of Life and pray
Read the Bible every day
Read the Bible every day.
