Christian, thy warfare will shortly be o'er

Christian, thy warfare will shortly be o'er,O do not fear, do not fear;Soon thou shalt rest where thy foes come no more;Be of good cheer, of good cheer.What though the night be so dreary and long,What though thy foes be unwearied and strong,Soon thou shalt join in the conqueror's song;Be of good cheer, of good cheer.

What though the billows of life darkly roll,O do not fear, do not fear;Friends all forsake thee, and cares press thy soul;Be of good cheer, of good cheer.Christian, remember that Christ loves thee still;Only be faithful, and do Jesus' will,Soon thou wilt stand with him on Zion's hill;Be of good cheer, of good cheer.

Christian, the angels will soon come for thee,O do not fear, do not fear;He whom thou lovest in glory thou'lt see;Be of good cheer, of good cheer.O, if thou would'st to the end firm endure,Keep thy robe holy, and spotless, and pure,Victorious faith will make Canaan sure;Be of good cheer, of good cheer.

Christian, the shadows will soon flee away,O do not fear, do not fear;Then thou wilt enter an eternal day;Be of good cheer, of good cheer.In the bright kingdom forever to dwell,Join angel choirs, and the rich anthem swell,Bid to thy sorrow a long, long farewell;Be of good cheer, of good cheer.
