FEAR NOT! WHY SHOULD I FEAR?
My Saviour’s always near.
Dark clouds may hide Him from my sight,
But faith can pierce the darkest night:
The waves may rise, the winds blow shrill,
But faith can hear His “Peace, be still!”
FEAR NOT! WHY SHOULD I FEAR?
Fear not! Why should I fear?
My Saviour’s always near.
My life, my joy, my hope down here,
A sharer in my every care:
My help and shield in storm or blast:
Himself my great reward at last.
FEAR NOT! WHY SHOULD I FEAR?
Fear not! Why should I fear?
My Saviour’s always near.
I know the fulness of His blood:
I know the perfect love of God;
I know the work is fully done;
I know I stand in Christ alone.
FEAR NOT! WHY SHOULD I FEAR?
Fear not! Why should I fear?
My Saviour; ever dear,
Thy praise alone shall tune my voice;
Thyself hast told me to rejoice,
Didst bid me thanks in everything,
And loosed my tongue of Thee to sing,
FEAR NOT! I CANNOT FEAR!
