I be­lieved in God’s won­der­ful mer­cy and grace,
Believed in the smile of His re­con­ciled face,
Believed in His mes­sage of par­don and peace,
I be­lieved, and I keep on be­liev­ing.

Refrain

Believe! and the feel­ing may come or may go,
Believe in the word, that as writ­ten to show
That all who be­lieve, their sal­va­tion may know,
Believe and keep right on be­liev­ing.

I be­lieved in the work of my cru­ci­fied Lord,
Believed in re­demp­tion alone thro’ His blood,
Believed in my Sav­ior by trust­ing His word;
I be­lieved, and I keep on be­liev­ing.

Refrain

I be­lieved in the heart that as op­ened for me,
Believed in the love flow­ing bless­èd and free,
Believed that my sins ere all nailed to the tree;
I be­lieved, and I keep on be­liev­ing.

Refrain

I be­lieved in Him­self, as the true liv­ing One,
Believed in His pre­sence on high on the throne,
Believed in His com­ing in glo­ry full soon;
I be­lieved, and I keep on be­liev­ing.
