Never be sad – shun despairing remorse –
Jesus is ever near.
Cheer up! Just think, life could be much worse;
But Christ sees each falling tear;
Life’s trials may be many and joys but few,
But His hand will see you through.
Christ bore all this and a whole lot more –
He never did give up;
His tender head bled and His back grew sore,
Yet He drank that bitter cup;
Don’t shut Him out, whatever you do,
For His hand was pierced for you.
