Author: W. T. G. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1363 (1886) First Line: Cheer up, weary heart, with joy you may run Lyrics: 1 Cheer up, weary heart, with joy you may run
The race that before you appears;
Of the righteous 'tis said, They shall shine as the sun
In the realm of eternal years.
Chorus:
They shall shine as the sun,
All they who their Master obey;
They shall shine as the sun,
With Jesus thro' endless day.
2 Stand firm, fainting heart, be brave in the right,
The helmet of faith you should wear;
By the sword of his word and the power of his might,
God will help you the cross to bear. [Chorus]
3 Sweet promise of God! It rings in my ear
Like music I cannot describe;
I may shine as the sun if I only draw near
To the Lamb who on Calv'ry died. [Chorus]
