In the standard model, a lower bound to the Higgs mass (for a given top quark mass) exists if one requires that the standard model vacuum be stable. This bound is calculated as precisely as possible, including the most recent values of the gauge couplings, corrected two-loop beta functions and radiative corrections to the Higgs and top masses. In addition to being somewhat more precise, this work differs from previous calculations in that the bounds are given in terms of the poles of the Higgs and top quark propagators, rather than ''the MS-bar top quark mass''. This difference can be as large as 6-10 GeV for the top mass, which corresponds to as much as 15 GeV for the Higgs mass lower bound. Concentrating on the top quark mass region from 130 to 150 GeV, I find that for $\alpha_s=0.117$, $$ m_H > 75 {\rm GeV} + 1.64 (m_t - 140 {\rm GeV}). $$ This result increases (decreases) by 3 GeV if the strong coupling decreases (increases) by 0.007, and is accurate to 2 GeV. If one allows for the standard model vacuum to be unstable, then weaker bounds can be obtained.
