What wonderful words
in the Gospel of grace
Our loving Redeemer has giv’n!
How happy are they
who in spirit are pure,
For theirs is the kingdom of Heav’n!
Tho’ all that is earthly will fade,
And vanish away from our view,
We know that as sure
as the Savior lives,
The words He has spoken are true.
He maketh the lilies
to bloom in the field,
And shelters the bird in its nest;
He calleth the weary
to come unto Him,
And find the sweet blessing of rest.
Tho’ all that is earthly will fade,
And vanish away from our view,
We know that as sure
as the Savior lives,
The words He has spoken are true.
To those that are thirsting
and longing for Him,
The water of life He will give;
And they that with patience
endure to the end,
Forever in glory shall live.
Tho’ all that is earthly will fade,
And vanish away from our view,
We know that as sure
as the Savior lives,
The words He has spoken are true.
Then why are we fearful,
and where is our faith?
His own He will never forsake;
And tho’ He may lead them
where waters are deep,
His promise He never will break.
Tho’ all that is earthly will fade,
And vanish away from our view,
We know that as sure
as the Savior lives,
The words He has spoken are true.
