’Mid the storms of doubt
And un­be­lief, we fear,
Stands a Book eter­nal
That the saints hold dear;
Thro’ the rest­less ag­es
It re­mains the same—
’Tis the Book of God,
And the Bi­ble is its name!

Refrain

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!
Thro’ 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!

Refrain

’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 giv’n
To con­quer ev­ery foe!

Refrain

’Tis the Book that tells us
Of eter­nal life,
After faith­ful ser­vice
In a world of strife,
And this glo­ri­ous tri­umph
Over death’s dark fears
Is the world’s best gift
In an age of count­less tears.

Oh, the grand old Book
And the dear old faith
Are the rock on which I stand!
Oh, the grand old Book
And the dear old faith
Are the hope of ev­ery land!
