I am glad to have heard
fo the Saviour’s great mercy!
And that now I am singing
His redemption’s new song;
And e’er since, by His grace,
unto Him I surrendered,
In my heart has been ringing—
“I believe! I belong!”
Tell it out! Tell it out!
Christ the theme of my story!
Sing, ye mountains and hills!
Breezes, waft it along!
Praise the Lord!
He provideth a perfect salvation;
So we’ll take as our watchword—
“I believe! I belong!”
Once the slave of my sin,
then my soul lay in darkness;
Kept a pris’ner by Satan
in his dungeon so strong;
But the Lord, by His power,
set me free from my bondage.
And He gave me this watchword—
“I believe! I belong!”
Tell it out! Tell it out!
Christ the theme of my story!
Sing, ye mountains and hills!
Breezes, waft it along!
Praise the Lord!
He provideth a perfect salvation;
So we’ll take as our watchword—
“I believe! I belong!”
I believe for a full
and perfect salvation;
I belong to my Saviour
with a love deep and strong:
And though oft sorely tempted
to change my allegiance,
Still my faith gives the answer—
“I believe! I belong!”
Tell it out! Tell it out!
Christ the theme of my story!
Sing, ye mountains and hills!
Breezes, waft it along!
Praise the Lord!
He provideth a perfect salvation;
So we’ll take as our watchword—
“I believe! I belong!”
But I look for the time
when, my journey safe ended,
I shall join in the chorus
of the heavenly throng:
Oh, what rapture ‘twill be
on the throne to behold Him,
To eternity singing—
“I believe! I belong!”
Tell it out! Tell it out!
Christ the theme of my story!
Sing, ye mountains and hills!
Breezes, waft it along!
Praise the Lord!
He provideth a perfect salvation;
So we’ll take as our watchword—
“I believe! I belong!”
