Representative Text

1 When you are lonely, clouds hide the blue,
By friends forsaken, downhearted too;
Just go to Jesus, in earnest prayer,
Kneel down and seek Him,
He'll meet you there.

Refrain:
Just go to Jesus, with troubled mind,
He is the best friend, you'll ever find,
When in your weakness, you cannot stand,
Just go to Jesus, hold to His hand.

2 Don't be discouraged while trudging on,
'Tis always darkest before the dawn;
God will remember whate're betide,
You won't go wrong, friend, while on His side. [Refrain]

3 He loves the lowly, the needy child,
He loves the humble, the meek and mild,
He lifts the shadows, restores the blue,
He saves the sinner, let Him save you. [Refrain]
