10608. The Promise Way

1 I’ll tarry at a promise
Till Jesus meets me there,
He comes along the promise way;
His words, so free and gracious,
I’ll take to Him in prayer,
He comes along the promise way.

Refrain:
Glory! glory! My Savior comes to me,
His bright and blessèd light I see;
Glory! glory! He meets my soul today,
He comes along the promise way.

2 From sin I sought salvation,
And called upon His name,
He comes along the promise way;
O come, ye heavy laden,
His grace is still the same,
He comes along the promise way. [Refrain]

3 With every word He gives me,
I hasten to His feet,
He comes along the promise way;
He fills me with His Spirit,
He makes my joy complete,
He comes along the promise way. [Refrain]

4 When earthly blossoms perish,
And wintry storms appear,
He comes along the promise way;
He soothes my heart in trouble,
He dries the falling tear,
He comes along the promise way. [Refrain]
