I Am Standing on the Word of God

I am stand­ing on the Word of God

Which came to men of old;

The Ho­ly Book our fa­thers loved

And trea­sured more than gold.

I am stand­ing

stand­ing on the Word

Though the earth change and de­cay

It shall nev­er

nev­er pass away

I am stand­ing on the Word of God.

I am stand­ing on the Word of God

’Tis ho­ly and ’tis true;

Through ag­es it has been our light

With splen­dor ever new.

I am stand­ing on the Word of God

’Tis full of life di­vine;

God’s Spir­it lives in ev­ery word

And moves in eve­ry line.

I am stand­ing on the Word of God

And thus I am se­cure;

Though blows the tem­pest wild and hard

’Twill ev­er­more en­dure.

I am stand­ing on the Word of God

And on my dy­ing bed

I’ll share its con­so­la­tions

Lord

When death’s dark vale I tread.
