O my soul, what means this sadness,
Wherefore art thou thus cast down.
Let thy griefs be turn'd to gladness;
Bid thy restless fears begone;
|: Look to Jesus, :|
And rejoice in his dear name.
What though Satan's strong temptations
Vex and grieve thee day by day;
And thy sinful inclinations
Often fill thee with dismay;
|: Thou shalt conquer — :|
Thro' the Lamb's redeeming blood.
Tho' ten thousand ills beset thee,
From without and from within;
Jesus saith he'll ne'er forget thee.
But will save from hell and sin;
|: He is faithful :|
To perform his gracious word.
Tho' distresses now attend thee,
And thou tread'st the thorny road;
His right hand shall still defend thee;
Soon he'll bring thee home to God!
|: Therefore praise him — :|
Praise the great Redeemer's name.
Oh, that I could now adore him,
Like the heav'nly host above,
Who for ever bow before him,
And unceasing sing his love!
|: Happy songsters! :|
When shall I your chorus join?
