STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF GOD

STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF GOD

Tune: Promises 11.11.11.9 with Refrain

This Hymn can be found in the Baptist Hymnal No. 266

It is written and arranged by R. Kelso Carter (1849-1928)

It is a popular Hymn grouped under Hymns of Assurance widely sung in Baptist Churches and Schools.

We know so little about the Author R. Kelso Carter but his message to us is clear. He urges every Christian to live confidently in the assurance that the one who has directed our steps to this moment of time is worthy of our complete trust for the days ahead.


We are being called to stand on the promises of God. With His presence we can overcome and not be overwhelmed, because our God wants us to be victors and not the victims of life.

Therefore, brothers and sisters in Christ, let us lift up our voices as we stand on the promises of God our Saviour.

Standing on the Promises

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

Chorus:

Standing, Standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Saviour;
Standing, Standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.

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.

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.

4. Standing on the promises I cannot fail,
Listening every moment to the Spirit’s call
Resting in my Saviour as my all in all,
Standing on the promises of God.
