1 Come, trembling soul, be not afraid,
On Jesus all thy sins were laid;
And He thy hopeless debt has paid,
Only believe, only believe.
Refrain:
Believe, and He will pardon thee,
Believe, and you His love shall see;
Believe, and He’ll save you and me.
Only believe, only believe.
2 The Sufferer in the garden see,
The Lamb of God on Calvary,
And all that pain and death for thee,
Only believe, only believe. [Refrain]
3 The crimson stream, thy Savior’s blood,
Has power to bring thee nigh to God,
Cleansed in its precious healing flood,
Only believe, only believe. [Refrain]
4 In wondrous love He calls today;
Cast now thy guilty doubts away;
Free pardon take without delay;
Only believe, only believe. [Refrain]
5 For Thee, O Christ, all things I leave;
To Thee, my Savior, now I cleave;
And I, as Thou dost me receive,
Only believe, only believe. [Refrain]
