Troubled art thou? oh, be of good cheer;
Go and tell Jesus, He ever is near;
No anguish so deep, no trouble so dark,
But Jesus can bid it forever depart.
Refrain
Go and tell Jesus, He ever is near;
Go and tell Jesus, have nothing to fear;
No anguish so deep, no trouble so dark,
But Jesus can bid it forever depart.
Tempted art thou? The Lord will provide
A way of escape; keep close to His side;
In watching and prayer, by looking to Him,
A crown of rejoicing, a victory you’ll win.
Refrain
Doubting art thou? Examine thine heart,
Perhaps from the Savior you’re prone to depart;
Your love growing cold, your faith getting weak,
Repair to thy closet, with Jesus go speak.
Refrain
Weary art thou? Press on in the way;
Strength shall be given to thee with the day;
The burdens of life, if patiently borne,
Give place unto rest at the break of the morn.
Refrain
