Christian, wherefore yield to sadness?

Christian, wherefore yield to sadness?Fix thy heart and hopes above;Look to Jesus, and with gladnessTrust his gracious, pardoning love.Trials here will sorely press thee,Let thy trust on him be stayed:He will cheer, and guide, and bless thee,With his ever-present aid.

Think how kind, how condescending!Jesus calls himself thy Friend;From his throne in glory bending,He will every prayer attend.He will never, never leave thee,Through thy pilgrim days below;Then, at last, he will receive thee,And a crown of life bestow.
