Fear Not, I Am With Thee

Representative Text

1 What tho’ the way is rough and skies are overcast,
Joys untold are waiting thee when all the storms are past;
Trust in the promise, and the Lord will hold thee fast—
“Fear not, I am with thee, even unto the end.”

Refrain:
Fear not the way! He knoweth!
Prove him today! He goeth on before thee to defend!
In ev’ry hour his mercy will thy way attend—
“Fear not, I am with thee, even unto the end.”

2 Go where he bids you, do his will whate’er it be;
Give your talents unto him who gave so much for thee;
Rainbows of love declare his word from sea to sea—
“Fear not, I am with thee, even unto the end.” [Refrain]

3 Tho’ thro’ the waters dark and deep thy pathway lies,
Shrink not when the chilling waves of care and trial rise;
He’ll wipe away the tears from sorrows’ weeping eyes—
“Fear not, I am with thee, even unto the end.” [Refrain]

4 When in the valley of the shadow dark and deep,
He will still be with thee, able, willing, strong to keep;
In him to die is but to gently fall asleep—
“Fear not, I am with thee, even unto the end.” [Refrain]
