Be Strong

Lyrics: 1 A message God has given That tells of Christ our King; Its words of hope and comfort Great joy and peace can bring. Chorus: Be strong, fear not; behold, your God shall come! The desert then shall blossom as the rose, The lame shall leap, the dumb shall sing for joy, The eyes of all the blind unclose. The ransomed of the Lord shall then return, With songs, to Zion; in that wondrous day Great joy and gladness shall forever reign-- All sorrow then shall flee away. 2 Rejoice, O weary pilgrim, Along earth's troubled way, The Word that God has given Tells of a brighter day.
