Take Courage

Thank God and take cou­rage

re­joice ev­er­more!

For He on whose pro­mise we stand

Shall know of a sure­ty the way that we go

And pros­per the work of our hand.

Rejoice ev­er­more! re­joice ev­er­more!

Till shout­ing we an­chor on Ca­naan’s bright shore;

Then pur­er and sweet­er our rap­ture will be

For there in His beau­ty the King we shall see.

Thank God and take cou­rage

of this we are sure

That He

our Re­deem­er and friend

Whose good­ness and mer­cy thus far we have proved

Will lead us safe on to the end.

Thank God and take cou­rage

tho’ tr­ials we meet

Remember the Sav­ior is nigh;

One kind

gen­tle word from His dear

lov­ing voice

Will sweep ev­ery cloud from the sky.

Thank God and take cou­rage

our vi­gor re­new

Press on to the man­sions ab­ove

The man­sions that Je­sus has gone to pre­pare

For those who ab­ide in His love.
