THE OLD BOOK AND THE OLD FAITH
"Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away."
Matthew 24:35
Words & Music: George H. Carr.
'Mid the storms of doubt and unbelief we fear,
Stands a Book eternal that the saints hold dear;
Through 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!
Through 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 given to conquer every foe!
Refrain
O the grand old Book and the dear old faith
Are the Rock on which I stand!
O the grand old Book and the dear old faith
Are the hope of every land!
