17. He Never has Failed Me

1 In sunshine and in shadow, I have a changeless friend,
Whose love is everlasting, whose mercies have no end;
And since He died to save me, my ev’ry need He’ll fill,
He never yet has failed me, I know He never will.

Refrain:
He never yet has failed me, O no! O no!
All glory to my Saviour who loves me so;
For ev’ry precious promise He surely will fulfill—
He never yet has failed me, I know He never will.

2 O when the storm is raging, I’ll look to Him above,
I’ll call upon my Saviour, and trust His saving love;
He’ll keep me thro’ the tempest, or bid the waves “be still,”
He never yet has failed me, I know He never will. [Refrain]

3 O don’t you know this Saviour to be your very own?
Turn now in faith to Jesus, the Lamb upon the throne;
Whene’er a contrite sinner has come to Zion’s hill,
Christ never yet has failed him, I know He never will. [Refrain]
