Fear Not

Listen ! for the Lord hath spoken !
'Fear thou not,' saith He ;
'When thou passest through the waters,
I will be with thee.

'Fear not ! for I have redeemed thee ;
All My sheep I know !
When thou passest through the rivers,
They shall not o'erflow.

'Fear not ! by thy name I called thee,-
Mine thy heart hath learned ;
When thou walkest through the fire,
Thou shalt not be burned.

Thou art Mine ! oh, therefore fear not
Mine for ever now !
And the flame shall never kindle
On thy sealed brow.

'Thou art precious, therefore fear not,
Precious unto Me !
I have made thee for My glory,
I have loved thee.'
