Trusting in the Promise (Hewitt)

Wonderful pro­mise

oh

pre­cious word

Coming to Je­sus

I glad­ly heard;

Falling like balm on the trou­bled sea

Telling me my Sav­ior cares for me.

So in Him I trust

mer­ci­ful and just;

Changeless in His love and free;

And His grace with­in ov­er­com­eth sin

For my Sav­ior cares for me.

Trusting in the pro­mise of my Sav­ior King;

Every care to Him I bring.

Trusting in His pro­mise

hap­py will I be

For my Sav­ior cares for me.

Wonderful pro­mise! It cheers my days

Turning pe­ti­tions to grate­ful praise;

Comfort from which gloomy sha­dows flee;

Jesus

bless­èd Sav­ior

cares for me.

Joyful now my song

love can do no wrong;

In His name my trust shall be;

Others may I bring

jew­els for my king

Singing

Je­sus cares for me.

Wonderful pro­mise! Why should I fear?

Only to fol­low His foot­prints clear;

All that is need­ful

will He pro­vide;

Safely to the home­land

He will guide.

Humbly will I go

He the path will show

Better serv­ice may I bring;

Till

in worlds of love

His re­deem­ing love

Thro’ eter­nal days I’ll sing.
