FEAR NOT, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Listen! For the lord hath spoken
Last Line: I have lovèd thee.'
Subject(s): God


LISTEN! for the Lord hath spoken!
'Fear thou not,' saith He;
'When thou passest through the waters,
I will be with thee.

'Fear not! for I have redeemed thee;
All My sheep I know!
When thou passest through the rivers,
They shall not o'erflow.

'Fear not! by thy name I called thee,—
Mine thy heart hath learned;
When thou walkest through the fire,
Thou shalt not be burned.

Thou art Mine! oh, therefore fear not!
Mine for ever now!
And the flame shall never kindle
On thy sealèd brow.

'Thou art precious, therefore fear not,
Precious unto Me!
I have made thee for My glory,
I have lovèd thee.'
