Thank God and take cou­rage, re­joice ev­er­more!
For He on whose pro­mise we stand
Shall know of a sure­ty the way that we go,
And pros­per the work of our hand.

Refrain

Rejoice ev­er­more! re­joice ev­er­more!
Till shout­ing we an­chor on Ca­naan’s bright shore;
Then pur­er and sweet­er our rap­ture will be,
For there in His beau­ty the King we shall see.

Thank God and take cou­rage, of this we are sure,
That He, our Re­deem­er and friend,
Whose good­ness and mer­cy thus far we have proved,
Will lead us safe on to the end.

Refrain

Thank God and take cou­rage, tho’ tr­ials we meet,
Remember the Sav­ior is nigh;
One kind, gen­tle word from His dear, lov­ing voice
Will sweep ev­ery cloud from the sky.

Refrain

Thank God and take cou­rage, our vi­gor renew,
Press on to the man­sions above,
The man­sions that Je­sus has gone to pre­pare
For those who abide in His love.
