Afflicted saint, to Christ draw near,
      G         D        A
Your Savior’s gracious promise hear;
     D        A       Bm   A D
His faithful Word you can believe:
     G        D         A7            D
That as your days your strength shall be.

      D       A          Bm      A D
Your faith is weak, your foes are strong,
    G        D        A
And if the conflict should be long,
     D         A       Bm   A D
The Lord will make the tempter flee
     G        D           A7
That as your days your strength shall
D
be.

So, sing with joy, afflicted one;
    Bm  A D                   A
The battle’s fierce, but the victory’s won!
    D        A       Bm    A D
God shall supply all that you need;
      G       D           A7
Yes, as your days your strength shall
D
be.

[Verse 3]

        D    A     Bm    A D
Should persecution rage and flame,
      G         D      A
Still trust in your Redeemer’s name.
    D      A    Bm    A D
In fiery trials you shall see
     G        D          A7
That as your days your strength shall
D
be.

[Chorus]

     Bm    A D         A      D
So, sing with joy, afflicted one;
    Bm  A D                   A
The battle’s fierce, but the victory’s won!
    D        A       Bm    A D
God shall supply all that you need;
      G       D           A7
Yes, as your days your strength shall
D
be.

[Verse 4]

      D         A        Bm    A
When called to bear your weighty
D
cross
    G       D        A
Or sore affliction, pain, or loss,
    D        A      Bm  A D
Or deep distress or pov erty,
      G        D          A7
Still as your days your strength shall
D
be.

     Bm    A D         A      D
So, sing with joy, afflicted one;
    Bm  A D                   A
The battle’s fierce, but the victory’s won!
    D        A       Bm    A D
God shall supply all that you need;
      G       D           A7
Yes, as your days your strength shall
D
be.
