Fear Not, O Little Flock

1 Fear not, O little flock
Upon the storm-swept hill;
The Shepherd knows thy path,
He guides thy footsteps still.
His nail-pierced hand will keep
And hold thee safe and fast;
Fear not, O little flock,
He’ll bring thee home at last.

Refrain:
Fear not, oh, fear not!
Fear not, O little flock,
He’ll bring thee home at last.

2 Fear not, O little flock,
Through rivers dark and deep
The Shepherd gently leads
His weary, trembling sheep.
O love that goes before
And meets the stinging blast!
Fear not, O little flock,
He’ll bring thee home at last. [Refrain]

3 Fear not, O little flock,
Though fierce the flames may be;
The fire shall hurt thee not—
The Shepherd walks with thee.
O blessed fellowship,
When in the furnace cast,
Fear not, O little flock,
He’ll bring thee home at last. [Refrain]

4 Fear not, O little flock,
A heavenly fold is thine;
Above the shadows here
Its promised glories shine.
Soon shall thy Shepherd’s voice
Declare the night is past!
Fear not, O little flock
He’ll bring thee home at last. [Refrain]
