First lines
(Matthew 27:7; Middle Clause)
O troubled ones, why thus repine, And yield to care and sorrow? Though clouds may veil your sky today, The sun will shine tomorrow.
Chorus: He lives again, your Savior lives; His banner still is o'er you, Then trust the words the angel said: Behold he goes before you!
He goes before to cheer the path Your weary feet are treading; And all along, his gentle hand A feast of love is spreading.
