When you feel weak­est, dan­gers sur­round;
Subtle temp­ta­tions, trou­bles abound;
Nothing seems hope­ful, no­thing seems glad,
All is des­pair­ing, ev­en time sad.

Refrain

Keep on be­liev­ing, Je­sus is near;
Keep on be­liev­ing, there’s no­thing to fear;
Keep on be­liev­ing, this is the way;
Faith in the night, as well as the day.

If all were ea­sy, if all were bright,
Where would the Cross be?
Where would the fight?
But in the hard­ness, God gives to you
Chances of prov­ing that you are true.

Refrain

God is your wis­dom, God is your might;
God’s ev­er near you, guid­ing you right;
He un­der­stands you, knows all you need;
Trusting in Him you’ll sure­ly suc­ceed.

Refrain

Let us press on, then, ne­ver des­pair;
Live above feel­ing, vic­to­ry’s there;
Jesus can keep us, so near to Him
That ne­ver­more our faith shall grow dim.
