The Precious Word of God

lyricist: Barney Warren, 1900
Composer: Clarence Hunter

Standing on the pro­mise

it is right

I know;

We are safe­ly guard­ed from the rag­ing foe;

Onward

then

and up­ward

let us ev­er go

Standing on the pre­cious word of God.

Standing on the pro­mise

we shall nev­er fall;

Firmly we be­lieve that Christ is all in all;

We re­gard with plea­sure e’en His faint­est call

Standing on the pre­cious word of God.

Standing on the pro­mise

no­thing is more sure;

Things of earth may crum­ble

we are all se­cure

And with liv­ing grace in Christ we shall en­dure

Standing on the pre­cious word of God.

Standing on the pro­mise

we’re pre­pared to die;

We are rea­dy

wait­ing for our home on high

Passing thro’ the vale of death there’s not a cry

Standing on the pre­cious word of God.
