A Hymn for Sunday

Standing on the Word
By Haldor Lillenas

Sure is my foundation, for I stand today
On the living Word that faileth never.
Earth with all its glory soon must pass away,
But the Word of God shall stand forever.

Standing on the Word, Standing on the Word,
Standing on the never failing Word of God;
Tho' many foes assail, His promise cannot fail,
For I'm standing on the never failing Word.

Fearful are the storms that may around me beat;
Many are the foes that would assail me.
I have found a never failing, sure retreat
In the Word of Goad that cannot fail me.

Standing on the Word, Standing on the Word,
Standing on the never failing Word of God:
Tho' many foes assail, His promise cannot fail,
For I'm standing on the never failing Word.

Faith is resting on the promise strong and sure;
Hope is anchored safe and cannot falter;
Peace has found a haven from the storms secure
In the Word of God that cannot alter.

Standing on the Word, Standing on the Word,
Standing on the never failing Word of God;
Tho' many foes assail, His promise cannot fail,
For I'm standing on the never failing Word.

Like a beacon star to lead me thro' the night,
Like a light upon my pathway streaming,
Is the Word of God to guide my steps aright
To my homeland with its portals gleaming.

Standing on the Word, Standing on the Word
Standing on the never failing Word of God;
Tho' many foes assail, His promise cannot fail,
For I'm standing on the never failing Word.

Thank you for sharing this uplifting hymn and the lovely photographs, Ashley! How thankful I am that the Lord has given us His Word and that He has promised to teach us through it by the working of the Holy Spirit!
