SS&S Hymn #867: I believed in God's

Complete lyrics, stanzas, and pipe organ accompaniment • Sacred Songs & Solos

1

I believed in God’s wonderful mercy and grace;
Believed in the smile of His reconciled face;
Believed in His message of pardon and peace:
I believed, and I keep on believing!
Believe! and the" feeling" may come or may go;
Believe in the Word that was written to show
That all who believe, their salvation may know;
Believe, and keep right on believing!

2

I believed in the work of my crucified Lord;
Believed in redemption alone through His blood;
Believed in my Saviour by trusting His word:
I believed, and I keep on believing!

3

I believed in the heart that was opened for me;
Believed in the love flowing blessed and free;
Believed that my sins were all nailed to the tree:
I believed, and I keep on believing!

4

I believed in Himself, as the true Living One;
Believed in His presence on high on the throne;
Believed in His coming in glory full soon;
I believed, and I keep on believing!
