Standard (EADGBE)

 Take heart, my friend, we’ll go together

 This uncertain road that lies ahead

 Our faithful God has always gone before us

 And He will lead the way once again

 Take heart, my friend, we can walk together

 And if our burdens become too great

 We can hold up and help one another

 In God’s love and God’s grace

Chorus

 Take heart my friend, the Lord is with us

 As He has been all the days of our lives

 Our assurance every morning

 Our defender in the night

 If we should falter when trouble surrounds us

 When the wind and the waves are wild and high

 We will look away to Him who ruled the waters

 Who spoke His peace into the angry tide

 He is our comfort, our sustainer

 He is our help in time of need

 And when we wander, He is our Shepherd

 He who watches over us never sleeps

SECOND CHORUS

 Take heart my friend, the Lord is with us

 As He has been all the days of our lives

 Our assurance every morning

 Our defender in the night

 CHORUS then
