I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. (1)
But I will not leave you as orphans,
I will come back to you soon. (2)
You may have the peace I leave for you.
You will have trouble, but you can take heart!
You can overcome all as I have overcome the world. (3)
As you walk on the narrow way alone,
Though you feel lonely in the deep dark night,
You will see me there, for I live; you also will live. (4)
The truth I give often leads you into the lonely wilderness;
The life sometimes makes you as thirsty as the desert;
And my way passes, though infrequently, through the deep valley.
There, your soul will be released and freed, (5)
For I will not leave you as orphans in this wild world.
I am with you always, anywhere. (6)
You will not be alone!
