17016. Promises of God

1. It is writ­ten in the Word:
There is par­don thro’ the blood;
Do you be­lieve the pro­mise of the Lord?
Godly sor­row for your sin;
Will help you to en­ter in;
If you be­lieve the pro­mise of the Lord.

Refrain

Oh, do be­lieve the pro­mise of the Lord,
Only trust and ob­ey His pre­cious word.
Plunge in­to the fount­ain low,
It will make you white as snow,
If you be­lieve the pro­mise of the Lord.

2. He can keep you ev­ery day,
If His voice you will ob­ey;
And you be­lieve the pro­mise of the Lord.
Walk in ev­ery ray of light,
Shining on your path­way bright;
Believing all the pro­mis­es of God.

Refrain

3. If you’d be en­tire­ly whole,
Let Him sanc­ti­fy your soul;
O do be­lieve the pro­mise of the Lord:
Consecrate your life to God,
Take the way your Sav­ior trod;
Believing all the pro­mis­es of God.

Refrain

4. There is health in Christ the Lord,
If you will ob­ey His word
And you be­lieve the pro­mise of the Lord;
Lay your re­me­dies aside,
Trust in Him, the Cru­ci­fied;
Believing all the pro­mis­es of God.

Refrain

5. Christ is just the same to­day,
As be­fore He went away;
Do you be­lieve the pro­mise of the Lord?
And the pow’r of Pen­te­cost
Still is not for­ev­er lost;
When we be­lieve the pro­mis­es of God.

Refrain

6. On the day of Pen­te­cost,
They re­ceived the Ho­ly Ghost;
For they be­lieved the pro­mise of the Lord;
And the pro­mise is for you,
And it’s for your child­ren, too,
If you be­lieve the pro­mis­es of God.

Refrain

7. Soon our Lord shall come again,
And a thou­sand years shall reign;
Do you be­lieve the pro­mise of the Lord?
For when He shall first ap­pear,
Saints shall meet Him in the air;
Then you’ll be­lieve the pro­mis­es of God.
