Lyrics

We should ne­ver be dis­cour­aged,
Tho’ our faith be sore­ly tried;
Rather go to Him for com­fort,
Who has ev­er been our guide.

Refrain

When we all get home to glo­ry,
When we all get home to glo­ry,
When we all get home to glo­ry,
We will praise Him ev­er more.

We should ne­ver be dis­cour­aged,
Tho’ the tempt­er may as­sail;
God has told us we shall con­quer,
And His word can ne­ver fail.

Refrain

We should ne­ver be dis­cour­aged
In the dark­ness or the storm;
Every pro­mise God has made us,
He is faith­ful to per­form.

Refrain

Can we ev­er be dis­cour­aged
While the cross of Christ we see?
No; we’ll trust Him and re­mem­ber
As our day our strength shall be.
