453. I Will Not Be Afraid

1 I will not be afraid.
I will not be afraid.
I will look upward,
And travel onward,
And not be afraid.

2 He says He will be with me.
He says He will be with me.
He goes before me,
And is beside me,
So I'm not afraid.

3 His arms are underneath me.
His arms are underneath me.
His hands uphold me,
His love enfolds me,
So I'm not afraid.

4 His Word will stand forever.
His Word will stand forever.
His truth it shall be
My shield and buckler,
So I'm not afraid.

5 He will give grace and glory.
He will give grace and glory.
His cross before me,
His banner o'er me,
So I'm not afraid.

6 So we go singing onward.
So we go singing onward.
We're pressing upward,
We're marching Homeward
To Him unafraid.
