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."
When black the threatening skies appear,
And storms my path invade,
Those accents tranquillize each fear:
"'Tis I; be not afraid."
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."
There is a dark and fearful vale,
Death hides within its shade;
Oh say, when flesh and heart shall fail:
'"Tis I; be not afraid."
---Alternative verses---
When waves of sorrow round me swell,
My soul is not dismayed;
I hear a voice I know full well:
"'Tis I; be not afraid."
When black the threatening clouds appear,
And storms my path invade,
The voice that calms each rising fear:
"'Tis I; be not afraid."
