874. Alone with Jesus (Barner)

1 Alone with Jesus, ’tis so sweet
To worship at His lovely feet,
To raise our hearts in grateful praise,
For all His wondrous works and ways.

2 Alone with Jesus in the storm,
He’ll keep us from all fear and harm
If we but trust Him day by day,
Although it be a stormy way.

3 Alone with Jesus, all is well,
Beneath His smile my soul would dwell;
O Lord, how sweet to know and feel
Thy love and Thy eternal seal!

4 Alone with Jesus; to express
The perfect peace we here possess
An angel’s tongue might well employ;
Alone with Jesus, oh, what joy!

5 Alone with Jesus, hour by hour,
Preserved by His almighty pow’r;
And when the storms of life are o’er,
With Him we’ll dwell forevermore.
