Author: Mrs. C. H. M. Hymnal: The Best of All #S3 (1910) First Line: On promise ground I have planted my feet Lyrics: 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] Tune Title: [On promise ground I have planted my feet]
