HIS PROMISES, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Sometimes when I am very sick
Last Line: And he will keep his word!
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


Sometimes when I am very sick
My mind can not recall
The precious promises I love,
And I forget them all.
And then a sudden terror comes,
A dark, unbidden thought--
Suppose I'll need before the Throne
Those words that I forgot!
But, oh, I need not be afraid;
I know my blessed Lord
Will not forget His promises
And He will keep His word!
