God’s Promises

Author: Mrs. Mary D. James Hymnal: Glorious Praise #140 (1904) First Line: O, glorious promises of God! Refrain First Line: Sweet promises! God's promises! Lyrics: 1 O, glorious promises of God! Each one a priceless gem! The richest diamonds of the earth Are naught compared to them. Most blessed boon to mortals giv’n, To cheer life’s dreary way; Bright lights let down to show the path To everlasting day. Refrain: Sweet promises! God’s promises! Dear treasures of my soul: With these I’m rich, with theses secure, While endless ages roll. 2 No failure in his promises, But steadfast, firm and sure; The word of our unchanging God For ever shall endure. Tho’ heav’n and earth shall pass away, And all we love may die, God’s promises to us remain,— On these we may rely. [Refrain] 3 Believing them, the Spirit’s pow’r Renews and purifies, Thro’ Christ’s all-cleansing, precious blood, Our perfect sacrifice. O, glorious legacy of heav’n, So rich, so vast and free! These precious promises divine, Securing all to me. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [O, glorious promises of God!]
