When shadows fall and the night covers all -
There are things that my eyes cannot see. 
I never fear, for the Saviour is near. 
My LORD abides with me!  

How can I fear? 
Jesus is near! 
He ever watches over me! 
Worries all cease; 
He gives me peace. 
How can I fear with Jesus?  

When I'm alone and I face the unknown 
And I fear what the future may be, 
I can depend on the strength of my Friend! 
He walks along with me.  

How can I fear? 
Jesus is near! 
He ever watches over me! 
Worries all cease; 
He gives me peace. 
How can I fear with Jesus? 

Jesus is King! He controls everything! 
He is with me each night and each day. 
I trust my soul to the Saviour's control; 
He drives all fear away!  


How can I fear? 
Jesus is near! 
He ever watches over me! 
Worries all cease; 
He gives me peace. 
How can I fear with Jesus?
