Step Out on the Promise (#21) | Maggie Potter, 1911

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.
