Doubt not Je­sus’ words as­sur­ing,
I will be near to sus­tain thee;
He speaks in tones of ten­der might,
Speak, Lord, to the trem­bling soul,
And kind­ly speaks as He draws nigh,
Saying calm­ly, It is I;
But He called out in words both as­sur­ing and sweet,
Then the voice of Je­sus cheered them:
The waves that dash against thee;
The waves that dash against thee;
Appeared in air, and gent­ly said:
Ready to help you, rea­dy to aid,

Be not afraid

Be not afraid, be not dis­mayed,
It is I, it is I,
Child, be not, be not afraid;
When we dim­ly trace Thy form
When in the aw­ful tem­pest tossed,
I whose might cre­ation made.
Be not afraid, it is I, be not afraid, it is I;
When the storms of life as­sail us,
The soul that Je­sus lov­eth
The soul that Je­sus lov­eth
For lo! be­neath your eyes, for lo! be­neath your eyes,
Does He not plead for you when­e’er you stray?
