’Mid the storms of doubt
and unbelief we fear,
Stands a Book eternal
that the saints hold dear;
Through the restless ages
it remains the same—
’Tis the Book of God,
and the Bible is its name!
The old Book and the old faith
Are the Rock on which I stand!
The old Book and the old faith
Are the bulwark of the land!
Through storm and stress
they stand the test
In every clime and nation blessed;
The old Book and the old faith
Are the hope of every land!
’Tis the Book that tells us of
the Father’s love,
When He sent His Son to us
from heav’n above,
Who by richest promise
creates hope within,
For ’tis through His blood
we are saved from every sin!
The old Book and the old faith
Are the Rock on which I stand!
The old Book and the old faith
Are the bulwark of the land!
Through storm and stress
they stand the test
In every clime and nation blessed;
The old Book and the old faith
Are the hope of every land!
’Tis the Book that tells us of the will of God
And the Savior’s teachings
while the earth He trod—
How He soothed earth’s sorrows
and relieved its woe,
Through Whom strength
is given to conquer every foe!
The old Book and the old faith
Are the Rock on which I stand!
The old Book and the old faith
Are the bulwark of the land!
Through storm and stress
they stand the test
In every clime and nation blessed;
The old Book and the old faith
Are the hope of every land!
O the grand old Book and the dear old faith
Are the Rock on which I stand!
O the grand old Book and the dear old faith
Are the hope of every land!
The old Book and the old faith
Are the Rock on which I stand!
The old Book and the old faith
Are the bulwark of the land!
Through storm and stress
they stand the test
In every clime and nation blessed;
The old Book and the old faith
Are the hope of every land!
