1 Believe, believe in Jesus,
Believe His promise true,
For all that He hath spoken,
The Lord will surely do;
If you would be His servant,
Be made a priest and king,
Trust in the Lord Jehovah,
By faith to Jesus cling.

Refrain:
Believe, Believe,
Believe in Jesus,
Believe His promise true,
For all that He hath spoken
The Lord will surely do.

2 Believe, believe in Jesus,
Trust not in human power,
All human strength is weakness,
Man withers in an hour;
Man’s promise is uncertain,
His word is sure to fail;
Then put you trust in Jesus,
He only can prevail. [Refrain]

3 Believe, believe in Jesus,
And follow where He leads;
Remember, with the Father
For you He intercedes;
If here you trust in Jesus,
To die will be great gain,
And with Him in His kingdom,
You shall forever reign. [Refrain]
