The Cyber Hymnal ‎#13286

13286. Only Believe

1 Sinner, the Savior is calling for thee,
Will you His message of mercy receive?
"Throw off the burden and come unto Me,
All that I ask of you, only believe."

Refrain:
Fall at His feet, His mercy entreat;
See how He waits to freely forgive;
Bid Him come in, He’ll cleanse you from sin;
Joyfully say, "Now, Lord, I believe."

2 Rest not on works, for they never will save,
’Tis in believing that life He will give;
No other way but His way can you have,
All that He asks of you, only believe. [Refrain]

3 Rest not on feeling, but trust in the blood,
Jesus will never, no never deceive;
Trusting in feeling can do you no good,
All that He asks of you, only believe. [Refrain]

4 Will you not look to Him now and be blessed?
Look this moment, He’ll freely forgive;
Burdens will fall, and thy soul will find rest;
All that He asks of you, only believe. [Refrain]
