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

Higher than the heav'n above, Deeper than the deepest sea, Lasting as eternity; Love that found me wondrous tho't!
