136. Be of Good Cheer

1 What though the waves of temptation are rolling,
Fainting of heart, your soul filled with fear,
Jesus still walks on the turbulent billows,
Be of good cheer! O be of good cheer!

Refrain:
Be of good cheer! O soul do not fear!
While Jesus your Saviour is drawing so near;
Be of good cheer! He counts every tear,
Wait for His coming, O be of good cheer!

2 Sing out with joy! trust His mighty salvation,
Over the storm His voice you can hear,
Sweetly it rings o’er the treacherous waters,
Be of good cheer! O be of good cheer! [Refrain]

3 Rest in His peace, tremble not at the shadows,
Soon will the morn of gladness appear,
God know it all, He has never yet failed you—
Be of good cheer! O be of good cheer! [Refrain]
