'Tis I, Be Not Afraid

Verse 1

“’Tis I; be not afraid,”— Tho' dark the day, Strength, when in duty laid, Drives fear away; Safe by the Lord I stand, Holding His almighty hand. Hear His divine command— Hear, and obey.

Verse 2

Into this heart of mine, Where Thou dost see, Put Thou a strength divine, To grow like Thee; A gentle voice on high Always answers when I cry, “No loving soul shall die, Weak though it be.”

Verse 3

Rise, then, O fainting soul, With glad surprise; Let endless praises roll Up to the skies; All fear of death is past; Safe in Jesus’ love at last, Weakness aside is cast, Strength He supplies.
