Never Alone

Representative Text

1 Never alone do we journey below,
Tho’ dark clouds lower and wild tempests blow;
Jesus, our Saviour, leads on day by day,
He will go with us each step of the way.

Refrain:
Never alone—He’s a friend and a guide,
Never alone—ever close to our side.
Never alone—naught our hearts should dismay,
For He will go with us each step of the way.

2 Never alone, tho’ the path’s rough and steep,
He who is with us our footsteps will keep.
Safe o’er life’s troubles He lifts us always;
He will go with us each step of the way. [Refrain]

3 Never alone, tho’ oft-times we forget
When dangers threaten and hardships beset,
If from the pathway we heedlessly stray,
Still He is with us each step of the way. [Refrain]

4 Never alone, His strong arm will not fail
E’en to uphold us through death’s narrow vale,
To that fair land where forever ‘tis day,
He will go with us each step of the way. [Refrain]
