Be of Good Cheer (Evans)

In sail­ing life’s sea I have no­thing to fear

Tho’ tem­pests are toss­ing me high

If on­ly the voice of my Sav­ior I hear:

Come

be of good cheer

it is I.

Though tri­als my strength may de­fy

For help un­to Je­sus I cry

And when I am tempt­ed

or dan­ger is near

I’ll trust Him and be of good cheer.

Tho’ for­tune may fail me and health may de­cline

Tho’ oth­ers turn back to dis­may

I’ll cling to my Sav­ior and nev­er re­pine

And He will not cast me away.

No dan­gers ap­pall when my Sav­ior is near

And when I am sum­moned on high

My heart will re­joice if I on­ly can hear

Come

be of good cheer

it is I.
