The Cyber Hymnal ‎#3101

3101. It Is I, Be Not Afraid

1. Are you weak in faith and doubting?
Doubt no more, be not dismayed,
Doubt not Jesus’ words assuring,
It is I, be not afraid.

Refrain
Be not afraid, be not dismayed,
It is I, be not afraid.

2. In your hours of dark foreboding,
In distrust of earthly aid,
Hear the gracious Lord proclaiming,
It is I, be not afraid. [Refrain]

3. He who knows our every weakness,
He to everyone hath said,
Be not faithless, but believing,
It is I, be not afraid.

4. Do you fear to cross the river?
There is naught for you to fear,
Jesus calls you, listen to Him,
I’ll be there to bless and cheer. [Refrain]
