113. Never Give Up

1 Never give up, tho’ the path be dreary;
What tho’ the gloomy shadows fall?
God sendeth rest to the heart that’s weary,
His tender care is over all.

Chorus:
Never give up, never give up,
Ever be loyal and true;
Never give up, never give up,
Jesus will help you through.

2 Never give up; there are roses growing,
Wakened to life by sun and show’r;
Thro’ the dark clouds there’s a bright side showing,
Morning will follow midnight hour. [Chorus]

3 Never give up, for your Lord is guiding
Over a thorny road, maybe;
Clasping his hands, in his will confiding
Trust in the love you fail to see. [Chorus]
