Christ in Song ‎#758

758. 'Tis I; Be Not Afraid

1. When waves of trouble round me swell,
My soul is not dismayed;
I hear a voice I know full well,
"'Tis I; be not afraid."

2. When black the threat'ning skies appear,
And storms my path invade,
Those accents tranquilize each fear,
"'Tis I; be not afraid."

3. There is a gulf that must be crossed;
Saviour, be near to aid!
Whisper, when my frail bark is tossed,
"'Tis I; be not afraid."
