Lyrics

O mourner in Zion,
How blessèd art thou,
For Je­sus is waiting
To comfort thee now;
Fear not to rely on
The word of thy God;
Step out on the promise—
Tet under the blood.

O ye that are hungry
And thirsty, rejoice!
For ye shall be filled;
Do you hear that sweet voice
Inviting you now
To the banquet of God;
Step out on the promise—
Get under the blood.

Who sighs for a heart
From iniquity free?
O, poor troubled soul!
There’s a promise for thee.
There’s rest, weary one,
In the bosom of God;
Step out on the promise—
Get under the blood.

Step out on this promise,
And Christ thou shalt win,
The blood of His Son
Cleanseth us from all sin
;
It cleanseth me now,
Hallelujah to God;
I rest on His promise—
I’m under the blood.
