Safe on that Promise

Author: Mrs. Frank A. Breck Hymnal: The Golden Sheaf #47 (1902) First Line: The billows of Jordan are swelling Refrain First Line: Holding my hand Lyrics: 1 The billows of Jordan are swelling, And in the dark waters I stand, But Jesus has promised to keep me, And Jesus is holding my hand. Refrain: Holding my hand, Holding my hand; Yes, Jesus has promised to keep me, And safe on that promise I stand. 2 I fear not the valley of shadows, For Jesus my Comforter is, And I shall go home on the promise, For there is no promise like his. [Refrain] 3 O, I will go home on the promise, The promise so sure and so strong; I know it will carry me over To gladness and glory and song. [Refrain] Tune Title: [The billows of Jordan are swelling]
