To the Bible I’ll be true—I will love and live it, too,
Tho’ the worldly wise shall scoff its every claim;
I have found a full salvation in the Spirit’s revelation
Of the virgin-born Redeemer—bless His name!
Refrain
I am one who will not be moved;
I am one who will not be moved;
Tho’ the billows may rage about me;
I shall not be moved.
For my sins Christ did atone—I am trusting Him alone,
And I know that He will keep me to the end;
Naught from Him my heart can sever,
I will love and serve Him ever,
And His cause and truth with courage I’ll defend.
Refrain
Tho’ we find on every hand those who for Him will not stand,
Who would bring discord and doubt within the fold;
We will not be disconcerted, from the path of right diverted,
And the banner of His truth we will uphold.
Refrain
