Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Matthew 28:1-10 First Line: Brave shepherds quaked with fear that night Lyrics: 1 Brave shepherds quaked with fear that night
as barren hills were bathed in light,
till angel voices sang on high,
“Be not afraid! The Christ is night!”
2 How many times did Jesus chide
his friends who traveled by his side,
“Do not be anxious, do not fear!
Believe that God walks with you here.”
3 The tomb was empty they could see.
Afraid, they cried, “How can this be?”
An angel said, “He is not here.
The Christ has risen! Never fear!”
4 O Perfect Love that cast out fear,
embolden us, we pray, draw near;
give us the faith in troubled days
to live and love and sing your praise.
