Step In

Author: T. H. Hymnal: Songs of Summerland #187 (1943) First Line: The waters are troubled, the pool is nigh Refrain First Line: The waters are troubled, step in Lyrics: 1 The waters are troubled, the pool is nigh, The angel of mercy is standing by, The sick and the dying are pressing in For healing and cleansing from sin. Refrain: The waters are troubled; step in And you may be first: will you wash and be clean? The angel is waiting; O cease your debating! The waters are troubled; step in. 2 So many are near to the pool today, The multitude throng them and crowd their way; They see at Bethesda the stricken heal’d, The arm of the Mighty reveal’d. [Refrain] 3 O come with a broken and contrite heart, This moment the Healer can life impart, The waters may never again be stirr’d Nor footsteps of angels be heard. [Refrain] 4 Salvation is offer’d the world today, The vilest may wash all his stains away; This wonderful fountain stands open wide: Go, plunge in the soul-cleansing tide. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [The waters are troubled, the pool is nigh]
