Oh, the tears here you shed
Oh, the fears here you dread,
All because to the devil you
give heed;
Jesus offers the cure
For the good and the pure:
He will give you ev’rything
that you need.
When your heart fills with
doubt,
And you wander about,
Not knowing what tomorrow
holds for you;
He will stand by your side
Whatever may betide:
You will find in Him a Friend
that is true.
When you stand all alone
For the good seed you’ve sown
And no man will help you do
what is right,
On Him you may depend,
He’ll always be your friend,
He will bless you as you walk
in heaven’s light.
When death draws near to you,
And your time here is through,
He’ll give you comfort and
consolation;
When the dark clouds descend
And you meet your life’s end,
He’ll greet you in the land
of salvation!
