#281: Never Alone

(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)

1

I’ve seen the lightning flashing And heard the thunder roll,

I’ve felt sin’s breakers dashing, Which tried to conquer my soul;

I’v heard the voice of my Savior, He bid me still fight on —

He promised never to leave me, Never to leave me alone.

CHORUS

No, never alone, no, never alone —

He promised never to leave me, Never to leave me alone;

No, never alone, No, never alone —

He promised never to leave me, Never to leave me alone.

2

The world’s fierce winds are blowing — temptation’s sharp and keen;

I have a peace in knowing My Saviorstands between;

He stands to shield me from danger When all my friends are gone —

He promised never to leave me, Never to leave me alone.

CHORUS

3

When in affliction’s valley I tread the road of care,

My Savior helps me carry The cross so heavy to bear;

Tho all around me is  darkness And earthly joys are flown

My Savior whispers His promise — Never to leave me alone.

CHORUS

4

He died on Calv’ry’s mountain, For  me they pierced His side,

For me He opened that fountain, The crimson, cleansing tide;

For me  He’s waiting in glory Upon His heav’nly throne —

He promised never to leave me , Never to leave me alone.
