’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!
