Lyrics

O the pro­mis­es of God
Long have Sa­tan’s might with­stood,
And no pow­er of dark­ness
O’er them shall pre­vail;
They are build­ed sure and strong
For the con­flict with the wrong,
And those pro­mis­es were
Never known to fail.

Refrain

God’s pro­mis­es were
Never known to fail!
No pow­er of dark­ness o’er
Them shall pre­vail!
They are build­ed sure and strong
For the con­flict with the wrong,
God’s pro­mis­es were
Never known to fail!

O the migh­ty hand of time
Fashions ma­ny works sub­lime,
Yet the tide of years their
Splendor shall as­sail;
But the Word of God this hour,
Thrills with all the old-time pow­er,
For those pro­mis­es were
Never known to fail.

Refrain

Trust those ho­ly words to­day,
Let them guide you on life’s way,
Seek their re­fuge in
Temptation’s rough­est gale;
Strength and cour­age they shall lend,
Power from Hea­ven shall des­cend,
For those pro­mis­es were
Never known to fail.
