Theme Song Words & Music: Franklin E. Belden, 1896   Stand By The Bible Listen to the Theme Song We’ll stand by the Bible, God’s message to man, Revealing His love in Redemption’s great plan; It tells how death entered with sin and the fall, Of life freely offered through Jesus to all. Refrain Stand by the Bible, walk by the Bible, Teach by the Bible, revealing God’s plan; Stand by the Bible, study the Bible, Live by the Bible, God’s message to man. No book so abounding in wonderful truth, No guide so unerring for childhood and youth, No counsel so needed by man in his bloom, No comfort so sweet on the verge of the tomb. Through ages when faith spurned the fetters of might, It shone like a star on the bosom of night; Its word was the rule of the millions who bled, Its hope was their stay when the last prayer was said. We’ll follow thy teachings, blest word from above, We’ll live by thy pattern of infinite love, Believing, obeying, and watching with prayer, Till grace shall for Heaven our spirits prepare.	Franklin E. Belden He was born or March 21, 1858, in Battle Creek, Michigan and died on December 2, 1945. He was an Adventist who wrote many wonderful hymns.   When he was eight years old, Belden’s family moved to California, where he first composed music.  He wrote over 600 gospel songs. Due to breathing problems, Belden later moved to Colorado. He eventually returned to Battle Creek, Michigan, around age 30. He joined the Review and Herald Publishing Company, and stayed in Battle Creek until about 1910, when he began writing songs for evangelist Billy Sunday.  Belden’s aunt was Ellen G. White, one of the pioneers of the Se­venth-day Ad­vent­ist Church. Here are some of the songs he wrote Build on the Rock Cover with His Life Hold Fast Till I Come I Will Sing of Jesus’ Love Joy By and By Judgment Has Set, The Let Every Lamp Be Burning Bright Look for the Waymarks There’s No Other Name Like Jesus ’Tis Love That Makes Us Happy We Know Not the Hour Wholly Thine
