I Neither Faint Nor Fear

I neither faint nor fear,
Whatever is, is best;
The page of conscience clear,
My feet have onward pressed,

I neither faint nor fear
When in the tempest’s track,
A storm cloud’s brief career
Can never turn me back.

I neither faint nor fear,
Nor would my steps retrace;
The way indeed were drear,
Could I desert my place.
I neither faint nor fear,
But trust Omnipotence;
The Master I revere,
My shield and sure defence.

I neither faint nor fear,
With Him am I content;
To Christ would I adhere,
For Him would I be spent.
I neither faint nor fear
For He sustains my soul;
He bids me persevere;
He leads me to the goal.

I neither faint nor fear,
Although these hands are weak;
Although the night is drear,
A gracious dawn I seek.
I neither faint nor fear,
Whatever is, is best;
May I one heart but cheer,
To God I leave the rest.
