63. I'm Not Afraid

1 I’m not afraid, tho’ dark the world and dreary,
The shadows lengthen and the night comes one;
I’m not afraid, tho’ footsore grown and weary,
I wait till day is come.

Chorus:
I’m not afraid, no matter what befall me,
I’m not afraid, tho’ dark the night and wild;
He holds my hand and nothing can appall me,
My Father guards His child.

2 I’m not afraid, tho’ Satan would oppose me,
Tho’ foes unite to lure me from the way;
I’m not afraid, because my Father knows me,
He leads me all the day. [Chorus]

3 I’m not afraid of burdens which He gives me;
The cross for Him I take and gladly bear;
I’m not afraid, because He never leaves me,
His easy yoke I wear. [Chorus]

4 I’m not afraid of shadows that await me,
When thro’ death’s valley I must surely come;
I’m not afraid, for His is there to greet me
And bear me safely home. [Chorus]
