22. Be of good cheer

1 Let tomorrow take care of tomorrow;
Leave the things of the future alone;
Why should we be so fearful of sorrow?
Life's troubles come ever too soon!
If to hope over much be an error,
It is one that the wise have preferred;
And how often have hearts been in terror
Of evils that never occurred.
And how often have hearts been in terror
Of evils that never occurred.

2 Have faith and thy faith shall sustain thee--
Permit not suspicion and care
With invincible bonds to enchain thee,
But bear what God gives thee to bear;
By His Spirit supported and gladdened,
Be ne'er by forebodings deterred;
But remember how hearts have been saddened,
By fear of what never occurred.
But remember how hearts have been saddened,
By fear of what never occurred.
