The Best of All ‎#S3

S3. Standing on Promise Ground

1 On promise ground I have planted my feet,
Firm my foundation and safe my retreat;
Here toil is pleasure and service is sweet,
Standing on promise ground.

Refrain:
Standing on promise ground,
I am so glad I this resting place found;
God’s word is sure, and I am secure,
Standing on promise ground.

2 Comfort and blessing abide in my soul,
Doubtings are over and Christ has control;
On him today ev’ry burden I roll,
Standing on promise ground. [Refrain]

3 Treasures of earth all shall rust and decay,
Other foundations shall crumble away;
God’s word abides, we exultingly say,
Standing on promise ground. [Refrain]

4 Looking back over the wearisome way,
Up to the land I am holding today;
Keep me, dear Savior, forever I pray,
Standing on promise ground. [Refrain]
