Christ's servants should not be afraid Their duties to perform

Verse 1

Christ's servants should not be afraid, Their duties to perform; The promises, the Lord hath made, Will guard them in the storm.

Verse 2

They should not think it hard or strange, To bear the Saviour's Cross; For Satan seeks to have revenge On those who cause his loss.

Verse 3

When Satan, sin, and world combine, Their labours to oppose; Yet Jesus by his pow'r divine, Will baffle all such foes.

Verse 4

Tho' griefs and sorrows them await, And trails of their faith; To some it proves, their lot and fate, To feel the stroke of death.

Verse 5

All this should never more indeed: Fright feeble saints away; God giveth strength as they do need, According to the day.

Verse 6

Supported by that mighty hand, Such servants may endure-- To persevere and firmly stand, In spite of Satan's pow'r.
