Always With Us

Appears in 148 hymnals First Line: Always with us, always with us Lyrics: 1. Always with us, always with us, Words of cheer and words of love; Thus the risen Saviour whispers, From his dwelling place above. With us when we toil in sadness, Sowing much and reaping none; Telling us that in the future, Golden harvest shall be won. 2. With us when the storm is sweeping O'er our pathway dark and drear; Waking hope within our bosoms, Stilling ev'ry anxious fear. With us in the lonely valley, When we cross the chilling stream; Lighting up the gloomy shadows With salvation's radiant beam. Topics: Christ Christ With Us Used With Tune: RIPLEY

I Could Not Do Without

Author: F. R. Havergal Appears in 186 hymnals First Line: I could not do without Thee Lyrics: 1 I could not do without Thee, O Saviour of the lost, Whose wondrous love redeemed me, At such tremendous cost; Thy righteousness, Thy pardon, Thy precious blood must be My only hope and comfort, My glory and my plea. 2 I could not do without Thee, I cannot stand alone, I have no strength or goodness, No wisdom of my own; But Thou, beloved Saviour, Art all in all to me, And weakness will be power If leaning hard on Thee. 3 I could not do without Thee, For, oh, the way is long, And I am often weary, And sigh replaces song: How could I do without Thee? I do not know the way; Thou knowest, and Thou leadest, And wilt not let me stray. 4 I could not do without Thee, For years are fleeting fast, And soon in solemn silence, The river must be passed; But Thou wilt never leave me, And tho' the waves roll high, I know Thou wilt be near me, And whisper "It is I." Amen.
