Lyrics to the hymn, Standing On The Promises

 


Hello, friends and enemies alike, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog.

Today, we are looking at the hymn that a Mr. Russel Kelso Carter wrote in 1886 titled Standing On The Promises. 

It is currently published in 446 hymnals, which is older than I am!!!

Nevermind.

Point stands, that's a lot. It's a very pretty song, and if you don't know the whole song, go to YouTube and look up Alan Jackson's version of it, or Squirrel 24's lyric video.

Naturally, Alan Jackson doesn't sing the whole song.

Enjoy!


Verse 1

Standing on the promises of Christ my King,

Through eternal ages let his praises ring;

Glory in the highest I will shout and sing, 

Standing on the promises of God!

Chorus

Standing, standing,

Standing on the promises of God my Savior!

Standing, standing,

I'm standing on the promises of God!

Verse 2

Standing on the promises that cannot fail,

When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail;

By the living  Word of God I shall prevail,

Standing on the promises of God!

Chorus

Standing, standing,

Standing on the promises of God my Savior!

Standing, standing,

I'm standing on the promises of God!

Verse 3

Standing on the promises I now can see,

Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;

Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,

Standing on the promises of God! 

Chorus

Standing, standing,

Standing on the promises of God my Savior!

Standing, standing,

I'm standing on the promises of God!

Verse 4

Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,

Bound to him eternally by love's strong cord;

Overcoming daily with the Spirit's sword,

Standing on the promises of God!

Chorus

Standing, standing,

Standing on the promises of God my Savior!

Standing, standing,

I'm standing on the promises of God!

Verse 5

Standing on the promises I shall not fall,

List'ning every moment to the Spirit's call;

Resting in my Savior as my all in all,

Standing on the promises of God!

Chorus

Standing, standing, 

Standing on the promises of God my Savior!

Standing, standing,

I'm standing on the promises of God!


Well, that's it, people and giraffes alike! I hope you liked today's song, and I hope that you memorize it. Then, when you're having a bad day, you can whisper the words to yourself and hopefully feel better.

I need to try that.



If you want to read more, go to past posts or wait until Sunday, Wednesday, Monday, or a Random Chatty Day! 

Bye, and remember: God loves you!

Bye!

Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, and the occasional recipe. Today, the hymn we are looking at is called This Is My Father's World; it was written in 1901 by a Mr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock. It was originally a poem with sixteen verses, but when it was set to music, only three verses were chosen. A tree and a bush Someday I might do the whole poem, but today, I'm just going to do the three that I know. Let me know if you want me to do the whole poem. Go to YouTube and look up Folksandhymns to find the tune. Now, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1 This is my Father's world; And to my listening ears, All nature sings  And 'round me rings  The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world;  I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, Of skies and seas. His hand the wonders wrought. Verse 2 This is my Father's world; The birds, their carols raise. The morning light,  The lily whit

A Kalimba, Ocarina, and Native American Flute      Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where my main thing is hymns. Today's hymn is one of my new favorites, Sweet Hour Of Prayer. It was written in 1845 by Mr. William W. Walford, and it is one of the best hymns in the world. In fact, every hymn I like is one of the best hymns in the world; funny how that works. If you don't how the tune goes, go to YouTube and look up Alan Jackson, or Folksandhymns.  Now, on with the show! A bridge   The Lyrics  Verse 1  Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! That calls me from a world of care, And bids me at my Father's throne  Make all my wants and wishes known. In seasons of distress and grief, My soul has often found relief; And oft' escaped the tempter's snare  By thy return, sweet hour of prayer! Verse 2  Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! The joys I feel, the bliss I share, Of those whose anxious spirits burn With stro
