16604. "I Am With You Alway"

1 Alway, dear Sav­ior, then why should I fear?
Thou art my shel­ter when dan­ger is near;
Strength in my weak­ness, in dark­ness my light,
Joy of my morn­ing, my song in the night.

Refrain:
Mansions so fair, wait­ing me there.
I shall be sa­tis­fied, wait­ing to be
Clothed in Thy like­ness and al­ways with Thee,
Always with Thee.

2 Almost des­pair­ing, borne down by the gale,
Was I for­got­ten? Thy love can­not fail.
Fierce ’tho the bil­lows may break ov­er me,
Rock of my re­fuge, I’m cling­ing to Thee. [Refrain]

3 Toiling and bur­dened, I faint by the way;
Grant me, my Fa­ther, but strength as my day;
Help me to trust Thee, my Sav­ior and friend;
Sure Thou art with me e’en down to the end. [Refrain]
