Let Go

Author: Avis M. Burgeson Hymnal: The Tabernacle Hymns #9 (1918) First Line: When tempted and tried and discouraged Refrain First Line: Let go! Let Jesus take your load of care Lyrics: 1 When tempted and tried and discouraged, When weary of self and of sin, Let go and let Jesus fight for you, Let Jesus the victory win. Refrain: Let go! Let Jesus take your load of care; Let go! Let Him your ev’ry burden bear; Let go! Let Jesus guide your steps aright; Let go! Let go and trust in Jesus. 2 When clouds all around you are gath’ring, When life seems as black as the night, Let go and let Him take hold for you, And He will make ev’rything bright. [Refrain] 3 When sorely perplexed and disheartened, From struggling and striving in vain, Let go and let Jesus strive for you, O’er sin He a triumph will gain. [Refrain] Topics: Trust; Trust Tune Title: [When tempted and tried and discouraged]
