Lyrics: Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name; you are mine. When you walk through the waters, I’ll be with you; you will never sink beneath the waves. When the fire is burning all around you, you will never be consumed by the flames. Do not be afraid . . . When the fear of loneliness is looming, then remember I am at your side. When you dwell in the exile of a stranger, remember you are precious in my eyes. Do not be afraid . . . You are mine, O my child, I am your Father, and I love you with a perfect love. Do not be afraid . . .
Notes: SATB with divisi in all parts, and Soprano solo (or semi-chorus)
