Step Out On the Promise

Verse 1

O mourner in 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 4

The promise don’t save, tho' 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.
