Remember Your Promise to Jesus

Remember your pro­mise to Je­sus

You made in the years long ago;

A loved one from earth’s scenes was pass­ing

The glo­ries of Heav­en to know.

Your heart then with ang­uish was break­ing

And tears were be­dimm­ing your eyes;

You pro­mised your Lord and your loved one

To meet them some day in the skies.

The world with its bu­si­ness and plea­sures

Has claimed all your thought ev­ery day;

A leaf on life’s cur­rent

you’ve drift­ed

Still far­ther and far­ther away.

While God from His boun­ty has clothed you

And fed you and kept you from ill

Though you of His care are un­mind­ful

He loves you and cares for you still.

Renew now your vow made to Je­sus;

Come

trust­ing His pow­er to save;

For there is no hope

and no mer­cy

Extended be­yond the dark grave.

Come back

for His arms are wide op­en

And time is swift pass­ing away;

The days of pro­ba­tion are end­ing

Get right with your God while you may.
