1 Think not of the morrow’s care,
Jesus will sustain you!
All your burdens He will share,
Jesus will sustain you.

Refrain:
Jesus will sustain you,
Jesus will sustain you!
All through life from day to day,
Jesus will sustain you.

2 Tho’ temptation may be strong,
Jesus will sustain you!
He gives vict’ry o’er the wrong,
Jesus will sustain you. [Refrain]

3 Persecutions may abound,
Jesus will sustain you!
With His loving arms around,
Jesus will sustain you. [Refrain]

4 When the shadows gather round,
Jesus will sustain you!
When death’s call at last shall sound,
Jesus will sustain you. [Refrain]

Author: Robert Harkness

After attending a revival meeting by Reuben Torrey and Charles M. Alexander, Harkness became Alexander’s pianist. He came to Christ shortly thereafter (on a bicycle, he said), and made several round the world tours with Torrey and Alexander. Harkness was especially well known for his program The Music of the Cross, and as the author of correspondence courses in hymn playing. He wrote over 2,000 hymns and Gospel songs in his lifetime.
