Good Will ‎#40

40. Only Believe

1 Jesus, the Wonderful
Only believe;
Health to the sick he’ll bring,
Losses retrieve;
Hope to the penitent,
Joy to the sorrow bent.
Peace to the ill-content,
Only believe.

Chorus:
Only believe, O soul,
Only believe,
Jesus will make thee whole,
Only believe.

2 Think how He loveth us,
O precious soul;
Think how He suffered that
We might be whole;
Think of the bleeding brow,
Think how he yearneth now,
Trusting, before him bow,
O precious soul. [Chorus]

3 Think of Gethsemane’s
Thrice offered pray’r;
Think, too, of Calvary’s
Cry of despair;
Bent ‘neath his Father’s frown,
Left by his lov’d and own,
There in his pangs to groan,
Lifted in air. [Chorus]

4 Oh, hear the Savior plead,
Only believe;
Trust in his pow’r to save,
His hand receive;
List to his pleading voice,
Make now the better choice,
And you shall e’er rejoice,
Only believe. [Chorus]
