LyicsWHAT, poor sinner, means this sadness?
Wherefore art thou thus cast down?
Let thy grief be turn'd to gladness,
Bid thy restless fears be gone;
Look to Jesus,
And rejoice in his blest name.
Though ten thousand ills beset thee,
From without and from within,
Jesus never will forget thee;
Only turn and follow him:
He is faithful
To perform his gracious word.
