He Promised to Keep Me

Christ will not fail me! how pre­cious the word!

I am se­cure with my Sav­ior and Lord;

His love fail­eth nev­er

en­dur­eth for­ev­er

And le­gions of an­gels shall ov­er me guard.

He pro­mised to keep me

sup­port and de­fend me

When tri­als o’er­take and temp­ta­tions as­sail;

He pro­mised to guide me

and I am per­suad­ed

His pro­mis­es nev­er

no

nev­er can fail.

Christ will not fail me! a child of His care;

All of my bur­dens He glad­ly will share.

He’s ev­er be­side me

no harm can be­tide me

For when I most need Him

my Sav­ior is there.

Christ will not fail me when tempt­ed by sin;

He felt its pow­er in the strug­gle to win.

My weak­ness He know­eth; His love ev­er show­eth

So sweet­ly con­troll­ing my spir­it with­in.

Onward I jour­ney

no need shall I know

But that His good­ness and pow­er will be­stow;

The while I am cling­ing

my glad heart is sing­ing

For Christ is be­side me wher­ev­er I go.
