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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
