373 Trusting in the Promise. P.M.

The Promise Secure.

I have found repose for my weary soul,

Trusting in the promise of the Savior;

And a harbor safe when the billows roll,

Trusting in the promise of the Savior.

I will fear no foe in the deadly strife,

Trusting in the promise of the Savior;

I will bear my lot in the toil of life,

Trusting in the promise of the Savior.

REF.--Resting on his mighty arm forever,

Never from his loving heart to sever,

I will rest by grace in his strong embrace,

Trusting in the promise of the Savior.

2 I will sing my song as the days go by,

Trusting in the promise of the Savior;

And rejoice in hope, while I live or die,

Trusting in the promise of the Savior.

I can smile at grief and abide in pain,

Trusting in the promise of the Savior;

And the loss of all shall be highest gain,

Trusting in the promise of the Savior.

3 Oh, the peace and joy of the life I live,

Trusting in the promise of the Savior;

Oh, the strength and grace only God can give,

Trusting in the promise of the Savior.

Whosoever will may be saved to-day,

Trusting in the promise of the Savior;

And begin to walk in the holy way,

Trusting in the promise of the Savior.

Rev. H.B. Hartzler.

(868) Consolation Offered.

Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish;

Come to the mercy-seat, fervently kneel;

Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish;

Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal!

2 Joy of the desolate, light of the straying,

Hope when all others die, fadeless and pure--

Here speaks the Comforter, in God's name saying,

Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot cure.

3 Here see the bread of life; see waters flowing

Forth from the throne of God, boundless in love;

Come to the feast prepared, come, ever knowing

Earth has no sorrow but heaven can remove.
