My prayer to the promise shall cling

Author: A. L. Waring Hymnal: Hymns and Meditations #3 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: My prayer to the promise shall cling — I will not give heed to a doubt; For I ask for the one needful thing, Which I cannot be happy without. A spirit of lowly repose In the love of the Lamb that was slain, A heart to be touched with his woes, And a care not to grieve Him again — The peace that my Savior has bought, The cheerfulness nothing can dim, The love that can bring every thought Into perfect obedience to Him — 17 The wisdom his mercy to own In the way he directs me to take, — To glory in Jesus alone, And to love, and do good for His sake. All this Thou hast offered to me In the promise whereon I will rest; For faith, O my Savior, in Thee, Is the substance of all my reqnest. Thy word has commanded my prayer, Thy Spirit has taught me to pray; And all my unholy despair Is ready to vanish away. Thou wilt not be weary of me, Thy promise my faith will sustain, And soon, very soon, I shall see That I have not been asking in vain. Scripture: John 14:14 Languages: English
