I NEITHER FAINT NOR FEAR.

I neither faint nor fear, Whatever is, is best; The page of conscience clear, My feet have onward pressed, I neither faint nor fear When in the tempest’s track, A storm cloud’s brief career Can never turn me back. I neither faint nor fear, Nor would my steps retrace; The way indeed were drear, Could I desert my place. I neither faint nor fear, But trust Omnipotence; The Master I revere, My shield and sure defence. I neither faint nor fear, With Him am I content; To Christ would I adhere, For Him would I be spent. I neither faint nor fear For He sustains my soul; He bids me persevere; He leads me to the goal. I neither faint nor fear, Although these hands are weak; Although the night is drear, A gracious dawn I seek. I neither faint nor fear, Whatever is, is best; May I one heart but cheer, To God I leave the rest.
