O mourner in Zion,
how blessed art thou,
For Jesus is waiting
to comfort you now;
Fear not to rely on
the word of thy God.
Step out on the promise,
get under the blood.
Oh, 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.
Who sighs for a heart
from iniquity free?
Oh, 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.
The promise won’t save,
though the promise is true;
’Tis the blood we get under
that cleanses us through;
It cleanses me now,
hallelujah to God!
I rest on the promise,
I’m under the blood.
---Alternative verses---
Step out on the promise,
and Christ you shall win,
"The blood of his Son
cleanseth us from all sin,"
It cleanseth me now,
hallelujah to God!
I rest on his promise,
-I'm under the blood.
