1 Never be afraid to speak for Jesus,
Think how much a word can do;
Never be afraid to own your Saviour,
He who loves and cares for you.

Chorus:
Never be afraid, never be afraid,
Never, never, never,
Jesus is your loving Saviour,
Therefore never be afraid.

2 Never be afraid to work for Jesus,
In his vineyard day by day;
Labor with a kind and willing spirit,
He will all your toil repay. [Chorus]

3 Never be afraid to bear for Jesus,
Keen reproaches when they fall.
Patiently endure your every trial,
Jesus meekly bore them all. [Chorus]

4 Never be afraid to live for Jesus;
If you on his care depend,
Safely shall you pass through every trial,
He will bring you to the end. [Chorus]

5 Never be afraid to die for Jesus;
He the life, the truth, the way,
Gently in his arms of love will bear,
To the realms of endless day. [Chorus]
