What won­der­ful words in the Gos­pel of grace
Our lov­ing Re­deem­er has giv’n!
How hap­py are they who in spir­it are pure,
For theirs is the king­dom of Heav’n!

Refrain

Tho’ all that is earth­ly will fade,
And van­ish away from our view,
We know that as sure as the Sav­ior lives,
The words He has spok­en are true.

He mak­eth the lil­ies to bloom in the field,
And shel­ters the bird in its nest;
He call­eth the wea­ry to come unto Him,
And find the sweet bless­ing of rest.

Refrain

To those that are thirst­ing and long­ing for Him,
The wa­ter of life He will give;
And they that with pa­tience en­dure to the end,
Forever in glo­ry shall live.

Refrain

Then why are we fear­ful, and where is our faith?
His own He will ne­ver for­sake;
And tho’ He may lead them where wa­ters are deep,
His pro­mise He ne­ver will break.
