Aimer c'est tout donner et se donner soi meme.

BE NOT AFRAID
Based on Isaiah 43: 2-3 & Luke 6: 20 ff
Robert J. Dufford, SJ

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.

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 pow’r of hell and death is at Your side, know that I am with you through it all.

3. Blessed are you 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!

ON EAGLE’S WINGS
Adapted and based on Psalm 91
Jan Michael Joncas

1. You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord, who abide in His shadow for life, say to the Lord: “My refuge, my rock in whom I trust!”

Refrain: And He will raise you up on eagle’s wings, bear you on the breath of dawn, make you to shine like the sun, and hold you in the palm of His hand.

Coda: And hold you, hold you in the palm of His hand.

2. The snare of the fowler will never capture you, and famine will bring you no fear: under His wings your refuge, His faithfulness your shield.

3. You need not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day; though thousands fall about you, near you it shall not come.

4. For to His angels He’s given a command to guard you in all of your ways. Upon their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.

BLEST BE THE LORD
Based on Psalm 91
Daniel L. Schutte

Refrain: Blest be the Lord, blest be the Lord, the God of mercy, the God Who saves. I shall not fear the dark of night, nor the arrow that flies by day.

1. He will release me from the nets of all my foes. He will protect me from their wicked hands. Beneath the shadows of His wings I will rejoice to find a dwelling place secure.

2. I need not shrink before the terrors of the night, nor stand alone before the light of day. No harm shall come to me, no arrow strike me down, no evil settle in my soul.

3. Although a thousand strong have fallen at my side, I’ll not be shaken with the Lord at hand. His faithful love is all the armor that I need to wage the battle with my foe.
