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 in foreign lands and all will understand.  You shall see the face 
of God and live.

R.  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 pow'r 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 men insult 
and hate you all because of me, blessed, blessed are you!
