Lyrics

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.
