Standing on the Promises (Lyrics) | SDA Hymn

Written and composed by Russell Kelso Carter, this triumphant gospel hymn first appeared in Songs of Perfect Love (1886) with five original stanzas. Carter—an extraordinarily versatile man—trained at the Pennsylvania Military Academy, where he later taught chemistry, engineering, mathematics, and natural science, influences that may have shaped the hymn’s strong, marching character. Over his lifetime he served as a Methodist minister, an active participant in the Holiness movement, a novelist, a hymn writer, a hymnal editor with A. B. Simpson, and eventually a practicing physician. His musical and theological contributions were substantial, with dozens of texts and tunes appearing in various collections. “Standing on the Promises” remains his best-known work, joyfully affirming the believer’s confidence in God’s unfailing Word and encouraging us to take our stand on the sure foundation of His promises.
