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.

Refrain

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.

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.

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain
