Text: | God is near thee, therefore cheer thee |
Tune: | CHEER THEE, SAD SOUL |
Composer: | Dr. Thos. Hastings |
1 God is near thee, therefore cheer thee,
Sad soul!
He'll defend thee when around thee
Billows roll,
When around thee billows roll.
2 Calm thy sadness, look in gladness
On high!
Faint and weary, pilgrim, cheer thee,
Help is nigh!
Pilgrim, cheer thee, help is nigh!
3 Mark the sea-bird wildly wheeling
Through the skies!
God defends him, God attends him
When he cries!
God attends him when he cries.
4 God is near thee, therefore cheer thee,
Sad soul!
He'll defend thee, when around thee
Billows roll!
When around the billows roll.
