Representative Text

1 Pilgrim travelling on life’s highway,
Tho’ cast down with doubt and fear,
Sweetly o’er thy troubled spirit
Comes the voice of hope and cheer.

Refrain:
It is I, be not afraid;
It is I, be not afraid;
Hear the voice of Jesus
Saying,
It is I, it is I, be not afraid.

2 Sailor, tossed upon the billows,
Dark and gloomy tho’ it be.
Hear above the roaring breakers
Jesus’ voice, he speaks to thee. [Refrain]

3 When in trial, when in sorrow,
Drear and lonely all around,
Jesus’ cheering voice is speaking;
Listen to the welcome sound. [Refrain]
