Changeless Cheer


“I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you… 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 6:22,33). 

There is a cause for changeless cheer
That Jesus Christ our Savior gives,
Removing every cause for fear
Because forevermore He lives. 

He gives us reason to rejoice
With joy that no one takes away. 
We are His sheep who hear His voice,
Delighting in what He will say. 

His voice from Scripture we have heard
Assuring us He’ll come again.  
Our joy unspeakable is stirred
To know we shall behold Him then!

In Christ alone we have our peace,
Though all around is tribulation.
His tender mercies never cease
In every changing situation. 

Our Lord has overcome the world;
His triumph is our confidence!
Our sins into the depths were hurled
By what He did in our defense!

We know in every circumstance
The changeless hope that cheers our soul
Is anchored, not in changing chance,
But rather in our Lord’s control. 

Lord, thank You for Your gracious favor
With changeless cheer that You extend
Because You fought to be our Savior
And were triumphant in the end!
