  1. Toss'd with rough winds, and faint with fear,
    Above the tempest, soft and clear,
    What still small accents greet mine ear? ---
    'Tis I; be not afraid.

  2. 'Tis I, who washed thy spirit white;
    'Tis I, who gave thy blind eyes sight;
    'Tis I, thy Lord, thy life, thy light:
    'Tis I; be not afraid

  3. These raging winds, this surging sea,
    Have spent their deadly force on Me:
    They bear no breath of wrath to thee:
    'Tis I; be not afraid.

  4. This bitter cup, I drank it first;
    To thee it is no draught accurst;
    The hand that gives it thee is pierced:
    'Tis I; be not afraid.

  5. Mine eyes are watching by thy bed,
    Mine arms are underneath thy head,
    My blessing is around thee shed:
    'Tis I, be not afraid.

  6. When on the other side thy feet
    Shall rest mid thousand welcomes sweet,
    One well-known Voice thy heart shall greet,
    'Tis I; be not afraid. Amin.
