16342. Be Strong And Of Good Courage

1 Be strong! the com­mand still is ring­ing,
Be strong for the cares of the day;
Be strong to do right when temp­ta­tions as­sail,
Be strong when the clouds dim the way.

Refrain:
Be strong and heed the pro­mise!
Fear not, but go forth un­dis­mayed;
Be strong, and of good cour­age;
Have faith! be not afraid.

2 Take cour­age! the world now is wait­ing
For men with the cour­age who dare
To stand for the right and to strike with their might
All ev­il which seeks to en­snare. [Refrain]

3 Fear not, for God’s pro­mise is for them
Who trust Him to guide ev­ery day;
His hand leads the way thro’ the dark­ness of night;
Trust Him, and no foe can dis­may. [Refrain]

4 Our God shall go with us, and guide us
In ways dark, or paths bright and clear;
Wherever we go, He will keep us from harm;
With Him there is no­thing to fear. [Refrain]
