Stand by the Bible

We’ll stand by the Bi­ble

God’s mes­sage to man

Revealing His love in

Redemption’s great plan;

It tells how death en­tered

With sin and the fall

Of life free­ly of­fered

Through Je­sus to all.

Stand by the Bi­ble

Walk by the Bi­ble

Teach by the Bi­ble

Revealing God’s plan;

Stand by the Bi­ble

Study the Bi­ble

Live by the Bi­ble

God’s mes­sage to man.

No book so ab­ound­ing

In won­der­ful truth

No guide so un­err­ing

For child­hood and youth

No coun­sel so need­ed

By man in his bloom

No com­fort so sweet

On the verge of the tomb.

Through ag­es when faith spurned

The fet­ters of might

It shone like a star on

The bo­som of night;

Its word was the rule of

The mill­ions who bled

Its hope was their stay when

The last pray­er was said.

We’ll fol­low thy teach­ings

Blest word from ab­ove

We’ll live by thy pat­tern

Of in­fi­nite love

Believing

ob­ey­ing

And watch­ing with pray­er

Till grace shall for Heav­en

Our spir­its pre­pare.
