Step Out on the Promise (Potter)

lyricist: Maggie Potter, 1877
Composer: E. F. Miller, 1884

O mourn­er in Zi­on

How bless­èd art thou

For Je­sus is wait­ing

To com­fort thee now;

Fear not to re­ly on

The word of thy God;

Step out on the pro­mise—

Tet un­der the blood.

O ye that are hun­gry

And thirs­ty

re­joice!

For ye shall be filled;

Do you hear that sweet voice

Inviting you now

To the ban­quet of God;

Step out on the pro­mise—

Get un­der the blood.

Who sighs for a heart

From ini­qui­ty free?

O

poor trou­bled soul!

There’s a pr­omise for thee.

There’s rest

wear­y one

In the bo­som of God;

Step out on the pro­mise—

Get un­der the blood.

Step out on this pro­mise

And Christ thou shalt win

The blood of His Son

Cleanseth us from all sin;

It cleans­eth me now

Hallelujah to God;

I rest on His pro­mise—

I’m un­der the blood.
