I will not be afraid

I will not be afraid;

I will not be afraid;

I will look upward

And travel onward

And not be afraid.

He says He will be with me;

He says He will be with me;

He goes before me

And is beside me

So I’m not afraid.

His arms are underneath me;

His arms are underneath me;

His hand upholds me

His love enfolds me

So I’m not afraid.

His Word will stand for ever;

His Word will stand for ever;

His truth it shall be

My shield and buckler

So I’m not afraid.

He will give grace and glory;

He will give grace and glory;

His cross before me

His banner o’er me

So I’m not afraid.

So we go singing onward;

So we go singing onward;

We’re pressing forward

We’re marching upward

To Him unafraid.
