I Will Not Fear

By J. George Haller

I will not fear, Though storm clouds gather fast, Though kingdoms fall and mountains crumble into dust. When every ship comes home with broken mast, And every doubt of earth and hell assails my trust, Then, whether heaven above be dark or clear, My anchor chain will hold— I will not fear.

I will not fear, When dearest friends turn back, And earthly ties are snapped by unexpected strain; When those once dear now follow in my track And rend me, then, though bleeding, I will not complain. I shall expect my Lord will then appear To shield His trusting child— I will not fear.

I will not fear, When everything goes wrong; When losses, crosses, pains, and sorrows overwhelm; When days are dreary, nights are dark and long, And storm blasts hide from view the Master at the helm. I see Him not, but while His voice I hear, Unfalteringly I'll wait— I will not fear. —J. George Haller.
