Never let a shade of care
rest on your brow,
You can have the Savior’s
helping hand just now;
He has promised if His Word
you will believe,
That according to your faith
you shall receive.
Claim the promise,
plead it o’er and o’er;
On His Word lay hold
as ne’er before;
Claim the promise,
plead it o’er and o’er;
Let your faith be mightier
than e’er before.
He has called you in the world
to shine for Him,
Never need the brightness
of your life grow dim;
He has promised evermore
He will bestow
All that you may need
to keep your light aglow.
Claim the promise,
plead it o’er and o’er;
On His Word lay hold
as ne’er before;
Claim the promise,
plead it o’er and o’er;
Let your faith be mightier
than e’er before.
When the erring feet you seek
to guide aright
From the paths of darkness
into His own light,
He has promised pow’r
to give you from above
As you tell the story of His wondrous love.
Claim the promise,
plead it o’er and o’er;
On His Word lay hold
as ne’er before;
Claim the promise,
plead it o’er and o’er;
Let your faith be mightier
than e’er before.
When at last your service
for Him here shall cease,
And He bids you rise
to realms of endless peace,
He has promised your
reward on high shall be
Far beyond all telling thro’ eternity.
Claim the promise,
plead it o’er and o’er;
On His Word lay hold
as ne’er before;
Claim the promise,
plead it o’er and o’er;
Let your faith be mightier
than e’er before.
