Only Believe (Johnston)

Oh

why should we wres­tle with fears

And doubts which the Spir­it must grieve?

And why should we lang­uish in sorrow and tears

When there’s no­thing to do but be­lieve.

Believe

be­lieve

Only on Je­sus be­lieve;

Salvation is wait­ing for you and for me

There is no­thing to do but be­lieve.

His word is as­sur­ance com­plete;

Thy sins and thine id­ols now leave;

Come

plead­ing His pro­mise

and fall at His feet

Then you’ve no­thing to do but be­lieve.

How ea­sy the terms of His grace:

’Tis on­ly to ask and receive;

The seal of His fa­vor

the smile of His face

Are for those who will on­ly be­lieve.
