Songs of Praise and Salvation ‎#8

8. Never Alone

1 "Fear not, I am with thee";
Blessed golden ray,
Like a star of glory,
Lighting up my way!
Through the clouds of midnight,
This bright promise shone,
"I will never leave thee,
Never will leave thee alone."

Refrain:
No, never alone,
No, never alone;
He promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone;
No, never alone,
No, never alone;
He promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone.

2 Roses fade around me,
Lilies bloom and die,
Earthly sunbeams vanish-
Radiant still the sky!
Jesus, Henna-flower,
Blooming for His own,
Jesus, heaven's sunshine,
Never will leave me alone. [Refrain]

3 Steps unseen before me,
Hidden dangers near;
Nearer still my Saviour,
Whispering, "Be of cheer";
Joys, like birds of springtime,
To my heart have flown,
Singing all so sweetly,
"He will not leave me alone." [Refrain]
