1.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 to foreign men and they will understand

You shall see the face of God and live

Refrain:

Be not afraid. I go before you always

Come follow me; and I will give you rest

2. If you pass through 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...

3. 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 man insult and hate you all because of me

Blessed, blessed are you! ...
