Standing on the pro­mise, it is right, I know;
We are safely guard­ed from the rag­ing foe;
Onward, then, and up­ward, let us ev­er go,
Standing on the pre­cious word of God.

Standing on the pro­mise, we shall ne­ver fall;
Firmly we be­lieve that Christ is all in all;
We regard with plea­sure e’en His faint­est call,
Standing on the pre­cious word of God.

Standing on the pro­mise, no­thing is more sure;
Things of earth may crum­ble, we are all se­cure,
And with liv­ing grace in Christ we shall en­dure,
Standing on the pre­cious word of God.

Standing on the pro­mise, we’re pre­pared to die;
We are rea­dy, wait­ing for our home on high,
Passing thro’ the vale of death there’s not a cry,
Standing on the pre­cious word of God.
