New Songs of Praise and Power 1-2-3 Combined ‎#287

287. Be of Good Cheer

1 When the day is dreary,
When the night is long,
Heart and soul are weary,
Faith has lost her song,
Get a glimpse of glory,
Jesus seated there,
What a wondrous story of His care.

Refrain:
“In the world ye shall have tribulation,
In the world ye shall have tribulation,
But be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

2 Lay aside your sorrow,
Lay aside your fear,
Trust Him for tomorrow,
With a faith sincere,
He will do the keeping,
He is strong and true,
Jesus, never sleeping, will keep you. [Refrain]

3 Testing us in kindness,
Trying us in love,
We, in earthly blindness,
Cannot see above.
Clouds may like a curtain,
Veil from us His face,
Faith is always certain of His grace. [Refrain]
