The Finest of the Wheat ‎#156

156. Step out on the promise

1 O mourner of Zion, how blessed 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,—get under the blood.

2 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.

3 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.

4 The promise won’t save, though the promise is true;
’Tis the blood we get under that cleanses us thro’;
It cleanses me now, hallelujah to God.
I rest on the promise,—I’m under the blood.
