BY HIS WORD
Wishart Campbell / Ward Huntley

as rec by The Andrews Sisters  1957


By His word, in the beginnin', by His word,
By His word, in the beginnin', by His word,
He divided up the light
Into day and night,
And He saw that it was right, by His word.

Then He made the earth and seas, by His word,
Then He made the earth and seas, by His word,
Made the sun to rule the day
And the moon in bright array,
Put the stars on the Milky Way, by His word.

Glory, glory hallelujah!

By His word, we started livin', by His word,
(by His word, by His word, by His word)
By His word, we started livin', by His word,
(by His word, by His word, by His word)
Over rock and sea and sky
He gave us authority,
So His children could be free, by His word.
(by His word, by His word, by His word)

By His word, he made the sabbath, by His word,
(by His word, by His word, by His word)
By His word, he made the sabbath, by His word,
(by His word)
He gave us this day of rest
So the thought would be the best,
And the Sabbath day he blessed, by His word.

Then He made the earth and seas, by His word,
(by His word)
Then He made the earth and seas, by His word,
(by His word)
Made the sun to rule the day
And the moon in bright array,
Put the stars on the Milky Way, by His word.

By his word,
By his word,
By his word!
