o mourner in zion

O mourner in Zion, how blessed art thou,

for Jesus is waiting to comfort thee now;

fear not to rely on the word of thy God;




step out on the promise,

step out on the promise,

step out on the promise,

get under the blood.




O ye that are hungry and thirsty, rejoice!

For ye shall be filled; do you hear that sweet voice,

inviting you now to the banquet of God?




Who sighs for a heart from iniquity free?

O, poor troubled soul! There‟s a promise for thee;

there‟s rest, weary one, in the bosom of God;




The promise can‟t save, though the promise is true;

„This the blood we get under that cleanses us through;

it cleanses me now, hallelujah to God!




I rest on the promise,

I rest on the promise,

I rest on the promise,

I‟m under the blood
