Keep on Believing (Duff)

lyricist: Mildred Duff, 1901
Composer: Lucy Booth-Hellborn, arranged by Peter Bilhorn

When you feel weak­est

dan­gers sur­round;

Subtle temp­ta­tions

trou­bles abound;

Nothing seems hope­ful

no­thing seems glad

All is des­pair­ing

ev­en time sad.

Keep on be­liev­ing

Je­sus is near;

Keep on be­liev­ing

there’s no­thing to fear;

Keep on be­liev­ing

this is the way;

Faith in the night

as well as the day.

If all were ea­sy

if all were bright

Where would the Cross be?

Where would the fight?

But in the hard­ness

God gives to you

Chances of prov­ing that you are true.

God is your wis­dom

God is your might;

God’s ev­er near you

guid­ing you right;

He un­der­stands you

knows all you need;

Trusting in Him you’ll sure­ly suc­ceed.

Let us press on

then

nev­er des­pair;

Live above feel­ing

vic­to­ry’s there;

Jesus can keep us

so near to Him

That nev­er­more our faith shall grow dim.
