Afraid? Of what?
To feel the spirit's glad release?
To pass from pain to perfect peace,
The strife and strain of life to cease?
Afraid- of that?

Afraid? Of what?
Afraid to see the Savior's face
To hear his welcome, and to trace
The glory gleam from wounds of grace?
Afraid- of that?

Afraid? Of what?
A flash, a crash, a pierced heart;
Darkness, light, O Heaven's art!
A wound of his a counterpart!
Afraid- of that?

Afraid? of what?
To do by death what life could not
Baptize with blood a stony plot,
Till souls shall blossom from the spot?
Afraid- Of that?
