The grass withereth, the flower fadeth, but the Word of our God shall stand forever.
Isaiah 40:8
Words & Music: Haldor Lillenas, 1917 (🔊 pdf nwc). With Biblical truth under intense attack from modern culture, it’s sad that most hymnals have dropped this song. We need to be reminded of its message.
The Bible stands like a rock undaunted
’Mid the raging storms of time;
Its pages burn with the truth eternal,
And they glow with a light sublime.
Refrain
The Bible stands though the hills may tumble,
It will firmly stand when the earth shall crumble;
I will plant my feet on its firm foundation,
For the Bible stands.
The Bible stands like a mountain towering
Far above the works of men;
Its truth by none ever was refuted,
And destroy it they never can.
Refrain
The Bible stands and it will forever,
When the world has passed away;
By inspiration it has been given,
All its precepts I will obey.
Refrain
The Bible stands every test we give it,
For its author is divine;
By grace alone I expect to live it,
And to prove and to make it mine.
