52. Precious Promises

1 There are precious promises,
Rays of heav’nly light,
Shining on our pathway here,
Breaking through the night.

Refrain:
O the precious promises!
Take them while you may;
Great and precious promises,
Free and full today.

2 There are precious promises,
Riches all divine,
Gems of rarest beauty seen,
Gold from deepest mine. [Refrain]

3 There are precious promises,
Bread for all who need,
Plenty from the stores above,
Starving souls to fee. [Refrain]
