155. The Bible Stands

1
The Bible stands like a rock undaunted
 
‘Mid the raging storms of time;
 
Its pages burn with a truth eternal,
 
And they glow with a light sublime.
 
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.
2
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.
3
The Bible stands every test we give it,
 
For its Author is divine;
 
By grace alone I expect to live it,
 
And to prove it and make it mine.
