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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

I am stand­ing on the Word of God,
And thus I am se­cure;
Though blows the tem­pest wild and hard,
’Twill ev­er­more en­dure.

Refrain

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.
