One Sings: Oh, Do Not Fear

Oh, do not fear your life, do not fear;
Do not draw back when life draws near.

Eagerly, wholly, as a bride to her lover,
With joy, with desire, give yourself over!

Faithfully, proudly; as a steadfast wife;
And jocundly live with your life.

Do not fear his look; fling glance for glance;
Is it adventure, is it mischance —

Leave all to life; life is your lord,
To wait on his will; unfaltering, wait on his word.
