If you know Alexander’s full name, or where to get a good photo of him (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
It is written in the Word:
There is pardon thro’ the blood;
Do you believe the promise of the Lord?
Godly sorrow for your sin;
Will help you to enter in;
If you believe the promise of the Lord.
Refrain
Oh, do believe the promise of the Lord,
Only trust and obey His precious word.
Plunge into the fountain low,
It will make you white as snow,
If you believe the promise of the Lord.
He can keep you every day,
If His voice you will obey;
And you believe the promise of the Lord.
Walk in every ray of light,
Shining on your pathway bright;
Believing all the promises of God.
Refrain
If you’d be entirely whole,
Let Him sanctify your soul;
O do believe the promise of the Lord:
Consecrate your life to God,
Take the way your Savior trod;
Believing all the promises of God.
Refrain
There is health in Christ the Lord,
If you will obey His word
And you believe the promise of the Lord;
Lay your remedies aside,
Trust in Him, the Crucified;
Believing all the promises of God.
Refrain
Christ is just the same today,
As before He went away;
Do you believe the promise of the Lord?
And the pow’r of Pentecost
Still is not forever lost;
When we believe the promises of God.
Refrain
On the day of Pentecost,
They received the Holy Ghost;
For they believed the promise of the Lord;
And the promise is for you,
And it’s for your children, too,
If you believe the promises of God.
Refrain
Soon our Lord shall come again,
And a thousand years shall reign;
Do you believe the promise of the Lord?
For when He shall first appear,
Saints shall meet Him in the air;
Then you’ll believe the promises of God.
