The Old Book and the Old Faith

’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!

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!

’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!

’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!
