1 Fret not, He loves thee, Jesus is thy friend,
Fret not, He loves thee, loves thee to the end;
Workers of iniquity may flourish for a day,
But wait thou ever on the Lord, and on Him roll thy way.

Refrain:
Fret not, faint not, fear not,
Jesus is thy friend!
He loves, He holds, He keeps thee,
He keeps thee to the end.

2 Faint not, He holds thee with His own right hand,
Faint not, He holds thee and can make thee stand;
Darkest night may cover thee, no friendly star may shine,
But darkness and the light are one to Him who calls thee “Mine.” [Refrain]

3 Fear not, He keeps thee Who doth never sleep,
Fear not, He keeps thee, Shepherd of His sheep;
Round about Jerusalem the hills are as of yore,
And so around His people stands the Saviour evermore. [Refrain]
