Lyrics 1 Precious words, like music stealing, O’er the troubled heart oppressed; To the weary fainting spirit, Breathing comfort, hope, and rest. Refrain: “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee, Because he trusteth in Thee, Because he trusteth in Thee.” 2 Precious words, that cheer us onward, When the day is dark and drear, Lighting up the path before us, While their living tunes we hear. [Refrain] 3 Precious words of holy promise, From the home of angels bright; By the Spirit softly whispered In the silent hours of night. [Refrain] 4 Precious words, that lift us upward, All our earthly cares above, To the Fount of life eternal, And the source of endless love. [Refrain]
