It Is I; Be Not Afraid

Verse 1

When pow'r divine, in mortal form, Hush'd with a word the raging storm, In soothing accents Jesus said, "Lo, it is I; be not afraid."

Verse 2

So when in silence nature sleeps, And lonely watch the mourner keeps, One thought shall ev'ry pang remove, Trust, feeble man, thy Maker's love.

Verse 3

And when the last dread hour shall come, While trembling nature waits her doom, This voice shall wake the righteous dead "Lo, it is I; be not afraid."
