Cheers Me Every Day

Representative Text

1 The precious promise by Jesus giv'n,
Cheers me ev'ry day,
That rest is waiting for me in heav'n,
Cheers me ev'ry day;
On the sea and on the shore,
Storms may beat or winds may roar,
That my Saviour leads the way,
Cheers me ev'ry day.

Refrain:
Ev'ry day, Ev'ry day,
Cheers me ev'ry day.
Ev'ry day, Ev'ry day,
Cheers me ev'ry day.

2 The tho't that Jesus is ever near,
Cheers me ev'ry day,
Sustains me when all is dark and drear,
Cheers me ev'ry day:
All His tender love for me,
Comes thro' mercy full and free,
He, my comfort and my stay,
Cheers me ev'ry day. [Refrain]

3 The grace I find in His words of life,
Cheers me ev'ry day,
The peace He brings to this world of strife
Cheers me ev'ry day;
I will love Him more and more,
Till this fleeting life is o'er,
For He is my life and way,
Cheers me ev'ry day. [Refrain]
