1 Hold up a promise to the throne of grace,
Pause for a blessing as you “run the race,”
Look in the guide book for a word of cheer,
Then to the mercy-seat in faith draw near.
Refrain:
Hold up a promise,
Hold up a promise to the throne of grace,
Jesus hath a blessing just to suit your case,
Hold up a promise to the throne of grace.
2 Drop ev’ry burden at the place of pray’r,
Breathing the name that’s always honored there,
Seeking the favor of the Father’s face,
Hold up a promise to the throne of grace. [Refrain]
3 Pray for the Spirit who will give you pow’r,
Bravely to conquer in the testing hour;
O, how we need him in our service here,
Look up, believing; we shall find him near. [Refrain]
4 Faint not, the Master bids us watch and pray,
Walk in his footsteps all along the way,
All clouds will vanish when we see his face,
Hold up a promise to the throne of grace. [Refrain]
The Finest of the Wheat No. 3 #311 Hold up a promise to the throne of grace,
