God’s great pow­er di­vine now has giv­en us
All we need for life and true god­liness,
Through our know­ing Him who has call­èd us
And for His own glo­ry giv­en pro­mis­es.

Refrain

He has giv­en us His pro­mis­es,
Very great and pre­cious pro­mises,
So we’ll be like Him, cleansed from all past sin.
Yes, our God has giv­en us His pro­mis­es.

To your faith add good­ness and know­ledge true,
Then add self-con­trol, per­se­ver­ance, too.
Then add god­li­ness, kind­ness, then add, too,
Love to all, con­firm­ing God’s great pro­mis­es.

Refrain

If you have these traits in in­creas­ing store,
They will keep you from un­pro­duct­ive lore.
You’ll ef­fect­ive be know­ing Christ our Lord,
Because God has giv­en us His pro­mis­es.

Refrain

Any per­son lack­ing these qua­li­ties
Is near­sight­ed, blind, and he does not see.
He’s for­got­ten he from his sin is free
And that God has giv­en us His pro­mis­es.

Refrain

So be ea­ger now; make your call­ing sure.
If you do these things, you will fall no more.
You’ll be wel­comed rich­ly by Christ our Lord
And gain His king­dom, through His pro­mis­es.

Refrain
