Snowy Field with Troubled art thou? oh, be of good cheer and WHEN cold our hearts, and far from Thee

Troubled art thou? oh, be of good cheer;
Go and tell Jesus, he ever is near;
No anguish so deep, no trouble so dark,
But Jesus can bid it forever depart.

Tempted art thou? the Lord will provide
A way of escape; keep close to his side;
In watching and pray’r, by looking to him,
A crown of rejoicing, a vict’ry you’ll win.

Doubting art thou? examine thine heart,
Perhaps from the Savior you’re prone to depart;
Your love growing cold, your faith getting weak,
Repair to thy closet, with Jesus go speak.

Weary art thou, press on in the way,
Strength shall be given to thee with the day;
The burdens of life, if patiently borne,
Give place unto rest at the break of the morn.

Chorus
Go and tell Jesus, he ever is near;
Go and tell Jesus, have nothing to fear;
No anguish so deep, no trouble so dark,
But Jesus can bid it forever depart.

When cold our hearts, and far from Thee
  Our wandering spirits stray,
And thoughts and lips move heavily,
  Lord, teach us how to pray.

Too vile to venture near Thy Throne,
  Too poor to turn away;
Our only voice,-Thy Spirit’s groan,-
  Lord, teach us how to pray.

We know not how to seek Thy face,
  Unless Thou lead the way;
We have no words, unless Thy grace,
  Lord, teach us how to pray.

Here every thought and fond desire
  We on Thine altar lay;
And when our souls have caught Thy fire,
  Lord, teach us how to pray.

Rev. John S. B. Monsell
