The Glad Refrain for the Sunday School ‎#123

123. Thy Promise Tells Me So

1 Dear Jesus, Thou wilt hear me,
Thou art ever near me;
Thy words of promise cheer me
Where’er I go;
Tho’ young, I may believe Thee,
Thy mercy will receive me,
And Thou wilt never leave me—
Thy promise tells me so.

Refrain:
Thou wilt protect me, protect me, protect me;
Thou wilt protect me where’er I go.

2 Dear Jesus, I adore Thee,
Kindly watching o’er me;
The way is bright before me
Where’er I go;
Thy gracious throne addressing,
And all my sins confessing,
A child may ask Thy blessing—
Thy promise tells me so. [Refrain]

3 Thy name salvation bringing,
How my heart is singing,
While faith to Thee is clinging
Where’er I go;
Thou source of all my pleasure,
Thy love I cannot measure;
Thou hast for me a treasure—
Thy promise tells me so. [Refrain]
