"These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer: I have overcome the world" (John 16:33).
How sweet are the wonderful words of our Lord,
Imparting His peace in this world of strife!
How mightily, too, as a quickening sword,
The Word of His Gospel awakens new life!
Be sure in this world you will have tribulation,
"But be of good cheer," our Champion said.
He knew by His death He would bring us salvation
And conquer the grave when He rose from the dead.
These things He has spoken the we might have peace
In Jesus our Savior, triumphantly near.
Even when our tribulations increase,
Our Lord and our Champion still gives us His cheer!
