Sweet Is the Promise

Sweet is the pro­mise of Christ who died

Opening for sin­ners the fount­ain wide;

Come ye and wash in the sac­red tide

Flowing on Cal­va­ry from His side.

Sweet is the pro­mise so rich and free

Sweet is the pro­mise of Christ to me;

Where He abid­eth I soon shall be

Saved by His grace thro’ eter­ni­ty.

Sweet is the pr­omise

I hear Him say

All of thy bur­dens I’ll take away;

Sweet is the pro­mise

I’ll with thee stay

Thro’ all the stress of life’s wea­ry day.

Sweet is the pro­mise of Christ to all

Answering free­ly His lov­ing call;

If ye be­lieve Him naught can ap­pall

For He will keep you what­e’er be­fall.
