Fear not, O Israel by Max Spicker — Lyrics
Behold! there shall be a day,
when the watchman upon the mountain top shall cry a;loud:
"Arise ye! Get ye up unto Mount Zion,
Unto the Lord your God!"
For thus saith the Lord:
Fear not now, O Israel,
neither be thou dismayed.
Refrain thine voice from weeping
and thine eyes from tears;
for I, the Lord am with thee,
and will save thee.
I have loved thee with everlasting love,

About Fear not, O Israel
This anthem by Max Spicker is suitable for services of hope and redemption. The SATB choir delivers a powerful message of comfort and reassurance, drawing on biblical promises of God's presence and everlasting love. The text opens with a call to arms, a prophetic cry from the watchman on the mountain, summoning Israel to Mount Zion. It then transitions to a direct address from the Lord, urging the people to cease their weeping and mourning, for God is with them and will save them. The piece builds to a jubilant refrain, celebrating the transformation of sorrow into gladness and rejoicing in redemption. Fear not, O Israel, is a profound declaration of divine faithfulness and a call to embrace hope.
