Take hold of the promise of Jesus

1 Take hold of the promise of Jesus,
The promise so blessed and true;
The word that was never yet broken,
O sinner, he meant it for you.

Refrain:
Take hold of the promise of Jesus;
Just now he doth wait to fulfill
The promise of life everlasting,
He says “whosoever will.”

2 Take hold of the promise of Jesus,
List now to his “come unto me,”
All ye who are weary, o’erladen,
And lighter each burden shall be. [Refrain]

3 Take hold of the promise of Jesus,
And come to him, brotherm, today;
Believe him, he’s able to save thee,
Tho’ far you have wandered away. [Refrain]
