147. I Am Resting On the Promise

1 I am resting on the promise
Of the blessed King of Kings,
That my soul shall dwell in safety,
'Neath the shadow of His wings.

Chorus:
I am resting O how calmly,
In His all-protecting care;
For His word of life assures me,
He will hear and answer prayer.

2 I am resting on His promise,
And whatever may betide,
There is naught on earth can harm me,
If in Him I shall confide. [Chorus]

3 I am resting on His promise
That will never, never fail;
It will be my sweetest comfort,
Till I anchor in the vale. [Chorus]
