My anxious soul from doubts and fears
May not be always free,
But thro’ life’s darkest days and years
It is enough for me
To hear my gracious Mas­ter say,
Fear not, I’ll go with thee!

Refrain

Go down the way the Mas­ter leads,
Although it dark may be,
For all His promises are sure,
And He will go, yes, He will go with thee!

There may be times when clouds o’erspread
The sky that hangs o’er me;
There may be hours of fear and dread,
Yes, there will surely be;
But cheering words I hear Him speak,
Fear not, I’ll go with thee!

Refrain

There hangs, perhaps, a shadow now
Thro’ which I cannot see,
But in the gath’ring gloom I’ll bow
To Him the suppliant knee,
And hear His answer to my prayer:
Fear not, I’ll go with thee!

Refrain

Ah! yes, His promise is my own,
My Mas­ter speaks to me:
He bids me trust in Him alone,
And wait His grace to see:
His promise is for­ev­er good,
Fear not, I’ll go with thee!

Refrain
