Jesus Will Keep Every Promise

lyricist: Johnson Oatman, Jr., 1900
Composer: H. O. Ward

If waves of af­flict­ion should ov­er thee roll

Tho’ tem­pests around thee may sweep

No storms on life’s oceans can in­jure thy soul

The Sav­ior has pro­mised to keep.

Then hold thy faith stea­dy

my bro­ther

And be not afraid;

For Je­sus will keep

Every pro­mise He’s made.

Whene’er thou art wea­ry

and long seems the road

If la­den with care thou art pressed

Thy Sav­ior has pro­mised to car­ry thy load

Has pro­mised to give thee His rest.

If thou hast been pray­ing for more of His grace

Hast prayed to know more of His will

Or prayed to be held in His lov­ing em­brace

He’s pro­mised such pray­ers to ful­fill.

Thy dear

lov­ing Sav­ior has gone to pre­pare

A man­sion in glo­ry for thee;

He’s pro­mised to take thee to live with Him there

If thou on­ly faith­ful wilt be.
