Oh, why should we wres­tle with fears
And doubts which the Spir­it must grieve?
And why should we lang­uish in sorrow and tears,
When there’s no­thing to do but be­lieve.

Refrain

Believe, be­lieve,
Only on Je­sus be­lieve;
Salvation is wait­ing for you and for me,
There is no­thing to do but be­lieve.

His word is as­sur­ance com­plete;
Thy sins and thine id­ols now leave;
Come, plead­ing His pro­mise, and fall at His feet,
Then you’ve no­thing to do but be­lieve.

Refrain

How ea­sy the terms of His grace:
’Tis on­ly to ask and receive;
The seal of His favor, the smile of His face,
Are for those who will on­ly be­lieve.
