1 I’m not afraid to trust in Jesus,
For His blood was shed for me;
I cannot doubt His love and mercy
When His wounded hands I see.

Chorus:
I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid,
I’m not afraid to trust in Him;
I’m not afraid, for He’s my friend,
And He’ll keep me to the end.

2 I’m not afraid to trust in Jesus,
Tho’ my sight is growing dim;
For He has made a full atonement,
And I’ll venture all on Him. [Chorus]

3 I’m not afraid to trust in Jesus,
On His word I can rely;
He can save my feet from falling,
He can keep me till I die. [Chorus]

4 I’m not afraid to trust in Jesus,
Though the world should pass away;
For He is faithful who hath promised,
He will keep me in that day. [Chorus]

Author: Priscilla J. Owens

Owens, Priscilla Jane, was born July 21, 1829, of Scotch and Welsh descent, and is now (1906) resident at Baltimore, where she is engaged in public-school work. For 50 years Miss Owen has interested herself in Sunday-school work, and most of her hymns were written for children's services. Her hymn in the Scotch Church Hymnary, 1898, "We have heard a joyful sound" (Missions), was written for a Sunday-school Mission Anniversary, and the words were adapted to the chorus "Vive le Roi" in the opera The Huguenots.
