but you shall not die of thirst.

You shall wander far in safety, 

though you do not know the way.

You shall speak your words 

to foreign lands 

and they will understand.

You shall see 

the face of God and live.


Refrain:

Be not afraid, 

I go before you always. 

Come follow me, 

and I will give you rest.


through raging waters, 

in the seas you shall not drown.

If you walk 

amid the burning flames 

you shall not be harmed.

If you stand 

before the pow'r of hell 

and death is at your side

Know that I am with you 

through it all.


Refrain:

Be not afraid, 

I go before you always. 

Come follow me, 

and I will give you rest.


for the kingdom shall be theirs.

Blest are you 

that weep and mourn, 

for one day you shall laugh.

And if wicked tongues 

insult and hate you 

all because of me, 

Blessed, blessed are you!


Refrain:

Be not afraid, 

I go before you always. 

Come follow me, 

and I will give you rest.
