Author: Josephine D. Heard Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8753 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: Lord on Thy promise I rely Lyrics: 1 Lord on Thy promise I rely,
That Thou wilt hear a sinner’s cry,
In every trying time of need,
And show Thyself the friend indeed.
2 To count Thy mercies I begin,
When, lo, a voice comes from within—
Where shall the countless blessings end,
Which Thou to me dost daily send?
3 Condemned by that most sacred law,
Which broken is each breath I draw?
Lord, only on Thy grace I lean,
Thou canst the guilty soul make clean.
4 Lo, at Thy feet I humbly fall,
And for Thy mercy great I call,
O turn to me Thy smiling face,
Send me the fullness of Thy grace. Languages: English Tune Title: MISSIONARY CHANT
Lord, On Thy Promise I Rely
