When life per­plex­es thee,
When ev­il vex­es thee,
Lift up thy heart;
Nothing thou need­est fear,
Jesus thy Lord is near,
He will sup­port and cheer,
Just where thou art.

Leave not thy post to find
Peace for thy trou­bled mind,
Lift up thy heart;
Strong in His ho­ly name,
Victor o’er sin and shame,
Power ov­er Sa­tan claim,
Just where thou art.

When no temp­ta­tions press,
Watch thou, and none­the­less,
Lift up thy heart;
Stand on the Mas­ter’s side,
And in His love abide,
Trustful and sa­tis­fied,
Just where thou art.

Then shall His Spir­it’s grace
Make thee His dwell­ing-place,
Glow in thy heart;
And from those eyes of thine,
Out on the world will shine
Light of His life di­vine,
Just where thou art.
