“IT IS I; BE NOT AFRAID.”
Tossed with rough winds, and faint with fear,
Above the tempest, soft and clear
What still small accents greet mine ear?—
'Tis I; be not afraid.
Above the tempest, soft and clear
What still small accents greet mine ear?—
'Tis I; be not afraid.
'Tis I, who washed thy spirit white;
'Tis I, who gave thy blind eyes sight;
'Tis I, thy Lord, thy Life, thy Light;
'Tis I; be not afraid.
'Tis I, who gave thy blind eyes sight;
'Tis I, thy Lord, thy Life, thy Light;
'Tis I; be not afraid.
These raging winds, this surging sea,
Have spent their deadly force on Me;
They bear no breath of wrath to thee;
'Tis I; be not afraid.
Have spent their deadly force on Me;
They bear no breath of wrath to thee;
'Tis I; be not afraid.
This bitter cup, I drank it first;
To thee it is no draught accurst,
The hand that gives it thee is pierced;
'Tis I; be not afraid.
To thee it is no draught accurst,
The hand that gives it thee is pierced;
'Tis I; be not afraid.
275
Mine eyes are watching by thy bed,
Mine arms are underneath thee spread,
My blessing is around thee shed;
'Tis I; be not afraid.
Mine arms are underneath thee spread,
My blessing is around thee shed;
'Tis I; be not afraid.
When on the other side thy feet
Shall rest, 'mid thousand welcomes sweet,
One well-known Voice thy heart shall greet;
'Tis I; be not afraid.
Shall rest, 'mid thousand welcomes sweet,
One well-known Voice thy heart shall greet;
'Tis I; be not afraid.
