Lyrics

O trou­bled heart, be thou not afraid,
In the Lord thy God, let thy hope be stayed;
He will hear thy cry and will give thee aid,
Whate’er thy cross may be.

Refrain

He is able still to de­liv­er thee,
And His own right hand thy de­fense shall be:
He is able still to de­liv­er thee,
Then be thou not afraid.

O trou­bled heart, tho’ thy foes unite,
Let thy faith be strong and thy ar­mor bright;
Thou shalt ov­er­come thro’ His pow’r and might,
And more than con­qu’ror be.

Refrain

O trou­bled heart, when thy way is drear,
He will res­cue thee and dis­pel thy fear;
In thy great­est need He is al­ways near,
To Him all glo­ry be.
