The Soul Cheering Promise

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1896
Composer: George Rockwell

We know not the tri­als be­fore us

But Je­sus takes thought for them all

And trusting the aid of His coun­sel

We nev­er

no

nev­er can fall;

We know not the tri­als before us

Or what on the mor­row may be

But sweet is the soul cheer­ing pro­mise

My grace is suf­fi­cient for thee.

Then cleave to the Sav­ior

cleave to Him

Whatever the con­flict may be

Remember the soul cheer­ing pro­mise

My grace is suf­fi­cient for thee.

We know not the tri­als be­fore us

But why; should we trem­ble or fear?

The arm of the Lord will pro­tect us

The ark of His mer­cy is near;

We know not the tri­als be­fore us

Or what our temp­ta­tions may be

But stronger than death is the pro­mise

My grace is suf­fi­cient for thee.

We know not the tri­als be­fore us

The sorrows and cares we shall meet

But O there’s a re­fuge in Je­sus

Though surg­es may break at our feet;

How bless­èd that re­fuge for­ev­er

Where safe from the storm we shall be

The pass­word to life is the pro­mise

My grace is suf­fi­cient for thee.
