There's a little word that the Lord has giv'n
For our help in the hour of need:
Let us reckon ourselves to be dead to sin,
To be dead and dead indeed.
For our help in the hour of need:
Let us reckon ourselves to be dead to sin,
To be dead and dead indeed.
Let us reckon, reckon, reckon,
Let us reckon, rather than feel;
Let us be true to the reck'ning,
And He will make it real.
Let us reckon, rather than feel;
Let us be true to the reck'ning,
And He will make it real.

There's another word that the Lord has giv'n,
In the very same verse we read,
Let us reckon ourselves as alive in Him,
As alive and alive indeed.
In the very same verse we read,
Let us reckon ourselves as alive in Him,
As alive and alive indeed.

While we trust in feeling or inward frames
We shall always be tossed about,
Let us anchor fast to the Word of God,
And reckon away our doubt.
We shall always be tossed about,
Let us anchor fast to the Word of God,
And reckon away our doubt.

As the mariner, when the skies are dim.
Sails on by his compass true;
So our faith would cling to the promise firm.
And reckon the journey through.
Sails on by his compass true;
So our faith would cling to the promise firm.
And reckon the journey through.

O how sweet it is to be anchored fast
To a hope that can never fail;
Let us reckon on with a firmer trust,
Till we anchor within the veil.
To a hope that can never fail;
Let us reckon on with a firmer trust,
Till we anchor within the veil.

You may claim the promise from every pain,
You may know His power to heal;
But your faith must rest in His word alone,
And reckon, rather than feel.
You may know His power to heal;
But your faith must rest in His word alone,
And reckon, rather than feel.
