Refrain: I’ll not be afraid, I’ll not be afraid, Where He leadeth I safely can go; I will trust Him alway, both by night and by day, He’ll be with me forever, I know. 2 I’ll not be afraid, though the stormy winds blow, And the billows sweep over my soul; He who calmeth the sea will protect me, I know, And will lead me to heaven’s bright goal. [Refrain] 3 I’ll not be afraid of the scorns of the world, Nor to tell of God’s wonderful love; When from Satan’s vile host fiery darts shall be hurled, I’ll be strengthened with grace from above.
