Representative Text

1 I fear no night however dark,
When Thou art Near;
No storms can wreck my little bark,
When Thou art Near.

Refrain:
When Thou art Near,
When Thou art Near,
I fear not loss, I fear no cross,
When Thou art Near.

2 I fear no foe however strong,
When Thou art Near;
I fear not all the hosts of wrong,
When Thou art Near. [Refrain]

3 I cannot fail, though I am weak,
When Thou art Near;
I fear no face when I must speak,
When Thou art Near. [Refrain]

4 I fear not wrath nor judgment dawn,
When Thou art Near;
The night has passed, ‘tis always morn,
When Thou art Near. [Refrain]
