Standing on the promises of Christ my King

by R. Kelso Carter (1849–1928)

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 518.

Verse 1

Standing on the promises of Christ my King, Thru eternal ages let His praises ring; Glory in the highest I will shout and sing, Standing on the promises of God.

Refrain

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.

Verse 3

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.
