Hymn
The Witness Clear
Words: Leech, Lida Shivers, 1873-1962 (1917)
I’ve a story sweet to tell, With my soul I know ‘tis well; For the witness clear, bids all doubt and fear In my soul no more to dwell.
Refrain
I could never tell the half He’s done, If I’d talk from dawn till set of sun; But there is one thing I must tell, That with my soul I know ‘tis well, Every day I have the witness clear, So I’ll trust His love and never fear, Whate’er befalls me, I know He calls me, His child, His Own.
From the land of doubts and fears, From the realm of sighs and tears, I am free for aye, for my Lord will stay Thro’ the passing days and years. [Refrain]
By His blood once shed for me, On the cross of Calvary, He has saved my soul, He shall e’er control, And His child I’ll ever be. [Refrain]
