Be Not Afraid I Go Before You Always

This is one of my favourite hymns. It has so much meaning! Even the melody is deeply touching. Enjoy :)

Be Not Afraid I Go Before You Always
lyrics by Bob Dufford S.J

You shall cross the barren desert
But you shall not die of thirst
You shall wander far in safety
Though you do not know the way
You shall speak your words in foreign lands
And all will understand
You shall see the face of God and live

Be not afraid
I go before you always
Come, follow me
And I will give you rest

If you pass the raging waters in the sea
You shall not drown
If you walk amid the burning flames
You shall not be harmed
If you stand before the power of hell
And death is at your side
Know that I am with you
Through it all

Be not afraid
I go before you always
Come, follow me
And I will give you rest

Blessed are your poor
For the kingdom shall be theirs
Blessed are you that weep and mourn
For one day you shall laugh
And if wicked tongues insult and hate you
All because of me
Blessed, blessed are you!

Be not afraid
I go before you always
Come, follow me
And I will give you rest
