When waves of trouble round me swell - It is I: be not afraid
(Charlotte Elliott/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)

It is I: be not afraid.

1. When waves of trouble round me swell,
  my soul is not dismayed;
I hear a voice I know full well –
  "'Tis I: be not afraid." PDF - Midi

2. When black the threatening skies appear,
  and storms my path invade,
those accents tranquillize each fear:
  "'Tis I: be not afraid."

3. There is a gulf that must be crossed;
  Saviour, be near to aid!
Whisper, when my frail bark is tossed,
  "'Tis I: be not afraid."

4. There is a dark and fearful vale –
  death hides within its shade –
oh, say, when flesh and heart shall fail,
  "'Tis I: be not afraid."

Charlotte Elliott, Leaves from the Unpublished Journals, Letters, and Poems of Charlotte Elliott, 236.
