Be of Good Cheer (Abbey)

Be of good cheer

saith the Sav­ior

Tho’ all thy bright­est hopes fade;

I will be near to sus­tain thee;

It is I

O be not afraid.

It is I

it is I

It is I

O be not afraid!

Be of good cheer

saith the Sav­ior;

It is I

O be not afraid!

Be of good cheer

tho’ the tempt­er

And world are ’gainst thee ar­rayed;

I will give grace that will con­quer;

It is I

O be not afraid.

Be of good cheer thro’ thy tri­als;

On Me let bur­dens be laid;

Tho’ they be hea­vy

I’ll bear them;

It is I

O be not afraid.
