Let all the earth cry out

To God with joy.

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 through raging watersIn the sea, you shall not drown.If you walk amid the burning flames,You shall not be harmed.If you stand before the pow’r 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.Blest are you that weep and mourn,For one day you shall laugh.And if wicked men 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.

My soul was filled with despair,

Lifeless and silent,

no music anywhere,

And then my Lord and companion,

He filled my waiting soul:

Hallelujah, hallelujah!

For God has made me whole!
