Swing out on the proÂmisÂes,
The nevÂer failÂing promÂisÂes;
Promises of Christ the Lord diÂvine;
Cross the line of CaÂnaan on
His evÂerÂlastÂing promÂisÂes,
He will make your path to gloÂry shine.
Refrain
Swing out on the promÂisÂes,
The nevÂer failÂing promÂisÂes;
Swing out on the promÂisÂes,
The SavÂior’s preÂcious promÂisÂes;
Trust the SavÂior’s evÂerÂlastÂing word;
Swing out on the promÂisÂes,
The all-sufÂfiÂcient promÂisÂes;
Swing out on the promÂisÂes,
The SavÂior’s hoÂly promÂisÂes,
Swing out on the promÂisÂes of God.
Swing out on the promÂisÂes,
Jehovah’s blessÂèd promÂisÂes;
Trusting in His pow’r to make you whole;
He will not forÂsake the ones
Who trust His sacÂred promÂisÂes;
Cast on Him the burÂdens of your soul.
Refrain
Swing out on the promÂisÂes,
The hoÂly Master’s promÂisÂes;
Give your life comÂpletely to the Lord;
He will not forÂsake the soul
Who trusts in His great promÂisÂes;
Swing out on the promÂise of His word.
