MANY THINGS WILL HAPPEN ON THE JOURNEY AS WE TRAVEL BELOW
THOUGH WE WALK THROUGHT THE LONESOME VALLEY
THERE'S ONE THING I KNOW
I MUST FACE TROUBLES AND TRAILS, SORROW ON EVERY HAND
BUT I'LL KEEP MY EYES TOWARD THE EASTERN SKY
GIVE HONOR AND OUR SAVIOR AND UPON THIS WORD JUST STAND
(CHORUS)
I'LL STAND UPON GOD'S WORD THOUGH THE BATTLE IS RAGING HIGH
I'LL STAND AND KEEP ON MARCHING TILL I REACH
THAT HOME IN THE BY AND BY
JUST OVER THE MOUNTAIN AND ACROSS THE RIVER
THERE'S A CITY WEHRE WE'LL LIVE FOREVER
I'LL STAND, I'LL STAND UPON GOD'S WORD I'LL STAND
JUST A FEW MORE DAYS TO LABOR AND WE'LL BE GOING HOME
THEN TO LIVE IN A BEAUTIFUL MANSION NEVER MORE TO ROAM
SO KEEP ON PRESSING ONWARD CHILDREN TIL
WE REACH THAT LAND
GIVE HONOR AND OUR SAVIOR AND UPON THIS WORD JUST STAND
