Tune: St Cuthbert
(\'Our blest Redeemer, ere He breathed\')
Isaiah 41 v.10-14 parts
********
Fear not, my people, for I be
With you for always, see
I am your God, be not dismayed
Trust firm and staid
I will strengthen you, and too I
Will help you, I am nigh
You, with my hand I will uphold
You in my fold
My hand, a hand of righteousness
I shall with it your bless
All that were against you shall fall
E\'en one and all
You shall seek them, but shall not find
They be gone, out of mind
They be nothing, no more you harm
I bring you calm
For I the LORD your God will hold
Your right hand, trust, be bold
I will say to you, Fear not, for
I help you sure
Though you as a worm, and I great
I leave you not to fate
I your Redeemer, Holy One
The LORD, bar none
