So very dear to me,
He loves me with a tender love,
He loves me faithfully;
I could not live apart from Him,
I love to feel Him nigh;
And so we dwell together,
My precious Lord and I.
Chorus:
No never alone, no, never alone!
He promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone.
2 Sometimes I’m faint and weary,
He knows that I am weak;
And as He bids me lean on Him,
His help I’ll gladly seek;
He leads me in the path of light,
Beneath a sunny sky;
And so we walk together,
My precious Lord and I. [Chorus]
3 I tell Him all my sorrows,
I tell Him all my joys,
I tell Him all that pleases me,
I tell Him what annoys;
He tells me what I ought to do,
Hs tells me what to try;
And so we talk together,
My precious Lord and I. [Chorus]
4 He knows how I am longing
Some weary soul to win,
Back to the ways of righteousness
From weary paths of sin;
He bids me tell His wondrous love,
And why He came to die;
And so we work together,
My precious Lord and I. [Chorus]
Used With Tune: [I have a Friend so precious]
