8925. Be Not Afraid, Only Believe

1 Believe, oh, believe on the Lord,
Be fearless and trust in His love;
He knows thee and gives thee His word,
He’ll help thee with strength from above.

Refrain:
Believe, oh, believe on the Lord,
Believe, oh, believe on the Lord.

2 No evil thy soul can destroy,
No sorrow thy heart overcome,
For Jesus, thy friend, standeth by,
He’s waiting to welcome thee home. [Refrain]

3 He heareth thy soul’s whispered prayer,
He seeth the penitent tear;
He surely thy burden will bear,
He only can banish thy fear. [Refrain]
