I'll Not Be Afraid

Verse 1

I’ll not be afraid For the terror by night, Nor the arrow that flieth by day; For the Lord whom I serve Is my shield and my light; He will guide and protect all the way.

Chorus

I’ll not be afraid, I’ll not be afraid; Where He leadeth I safely can go; I will trust Him alway Both by night and by day; He’ll be with me forever, I know.

Verse 2

I’ll not be afraid, Tho’ the stormy winds blow, And the billows sweep over my soul; He who calmeth the sea Will protect me, I know, And will lead me to Heaven’s bright goal.

Verse 3

I’ll not be afraid Of the scorns of the world, Nor to tell of God’s wonderful love; When from Satan’s vile host Fiery darts shall be hurled, I’ll be strengthened with grace from above.

Verse 4

I’ll not be afraid When the grave I shall see, Just beyond its dark shadow is rest; And the welcome of angels Is waiting for me, When I enter those realms of the blest.
