Author: Alice Jean Cleator Hymnal: Songs for All #36 (1906) First Line: If temptation oft confronts you with an unrelenting power Refrain First Line: There’s a promise! yes, a promise Lyrics: 1 If temptation oft confronts you with an unrelenting pow’r,
Seeking from the path of Right your steps to lead,
God has promised to be with you; look to him in faith each hour,
There’s a promise which will suit your ev’ry need!
Refrain:
There’s a promise! yes, a promise!
From temptation’s pow’r you swiftly may be free;
There’s a promise glad and sure which for ever will endure,
There’s a promise which will suit your ev’ry need!
2 In your labors for the Master do you sometimes weary grow,
Seeing not the harvest from the scattered seed?
Do not fret about the reaping, seek for help to wisely sow,
There’s a promise which will suit your ev’ry need! [Refrain]
3 In each hour of joy or sorrow, in temptation or distress,
God has said that he will be your strength indeed,
Search the Holy Word for guidance; it will help and cheer and bless,
There’s a promise which will suit your ev’ry need! [Refrain] Tune Title: [If temptation oft confronts you with an unrelenting power]
