Never Alone

I have seen the lightning flashing,

And heard the thunder roll,

I have felt sin’s breakers dashing,

Trying to conquer my soul;

But I heard the voice of my Saviour

Telling me still to fight on;

And He promis'd never to leave me,

Never to leave me alone.

When this world's winds are blowing

Temptations sharp and keen,

I feel a peace in knowing

My Saviour stands between:

Stands to shield me from danger

When earthly friends are gone;

For He promis'd never to leave me,

Never to leave me alone.

When in affliction’s dark valley

There treading the footpaths of care,

My Saviour helps me to carry

My cross, when heavy to bear;

When my feet are entangled with briers,

Of sin to tumble me down,

My Saviour then whispers this promise,

"I never will leave thee alone."

For me he died on the mountain,

For me they pierc'd His side;

For me He opened the fountain,

The crimson blood, sin-cleansing tide;

For me He is pleading in heaven,

From whence He will come for His own;

He'll remember me then, for He's promis'd

Never to leave me alone.
