Cântăre Be not afraid

1. "Be not afraid, ’tis I, ’tis I,

Though the storm rages wild;

In thy sore need I’m passing by,

Off’ring to help thee, hear thy cry—

Be of good cheer, My child."



R: "Be not afraid, ’tis I,

Be not afraid, ’tis I";

Though wild winds blowing,

My bark o’erflowing,

God rules in earth and sky:

"Be not afraid, ’tis I,

Be not afraid, ’tis I";

The storm can’t harm my trusting soul,

For Jesus walks the waves that roll;

His voice I hear, which calms my fear,

" ’Tis I, be not afraid."



2. Be not afraid, ’mid pressing foes,

Jesus is watching near;

He all thy deepest sorrow knows,

Walked every step thy pathway goes;

Trust Him, then; do not fear.



3. Be not afraid, He knows thy heart,

And He doth care for thee;

Of all thy grief He shares a part,

Stands by thy side, He’ll not depart,

If thou wilt faithful be.



4. Be not afraid, O helpless one,

Trust in His boundless grace;

Say from the heart, "Thy will be done,

Finish the work Thou hast begun,

Bring me to see Thy face."
