The Promises of God

Author: Lanta Wilson Smith Hymnal: Crowning Day No. 4 #164 (1900) First Line: I was wand’ring in a wilderness of deep despair and sin Refrain First Line: I believe the promises of God Lyrics: 1 I was wand’ring in a wilderness of deep despair and sin, And my feet were growing weary of the road; But my sorrow, doubt, and care Fled when Jesus met me there, And I learned to trust the promises of God. Refrain: I believe the promises of God, I can trust his never failing Word; When earthly hopes shall fail, Or hosts of sin assail, I rest upon the promises of God. 2 I was followed by the tempter, as he watch’d me day by day, While I sought the shining path my Saviour trod; But with panoply and shield, And the Spirit’s sword to wield, I have conquered thro’ the promises of God. [Refrain] 3 After days of glad rejoicing came a time of grief and care, When I sank beneath the heavy chast’ning rod; And the heart so torn by grief Found it comfort and relief Only thro’ the blessed promises of God. [Refrain] 4 So I pave the path before me with the promises of God; They have brighten’d ev’ry step my feet have trod; And this shining, happy way Brightens into perfect day, Thro’ the never failing promises of God. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I was wandering in a wilderness of deep despair and sin]
