Fear not, but hur­ry ye over to Beth­le­hem.
It gave me hope and cheer;
All thro’ the star­lit night,
The na­tions saw with fear the might of God dis­played,
Their hearts were filled with grief and fear,
When in trem­bling and fear,
My flesh de­clined, my spir­its fell,
I wait­ed for the Lord my God,

Drew near

And joined them as they walked,
Yet we re­mem­ber how ’tis writ,
To en­joy His care.
Came our Lord and Sav­ior;
(You said) You said, Do not fear.
And round the Sav­ior pressed;
They saw the new­born Child
For I had naught to fear.
And sud­den was their fright;
Great things for us the Lord has wrought,
In whis­pered words we hear them say,
And He cleansed me from sin,
While in­ward pangs and fears of hell
And He at length in­clined to me,
