Tell it out ! tell it out ! Christ the theme of my story ! [it along ! Sing, ye mountains and hills ! breezes, waft Praise the Lord ! He provideth a perfect salvation ; So we'll take as our watchword---- " I believe I belong ! '
2. Once the slave of my sin, then my soul lay in darkness, Kept a prisoner by Satan in his dungeon so strong ; But the Lord, by His power, set me free from my bondage, And He gave me this watchword---- " I believe ! I belong ! "

4. But I look for the time when, my journey safe ended, I shall join in the chorus of the heavenly throng : Oh, what rapture 'twill be on the throne to behold Him, To eternity singing------" I believe ! I belong ! "
