Author: Anonymous Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #441 (2011) Meter: Irregular with refrain Scripture: Psalm 32:8 First Line: I've seen the lightning flashing Refrain First Line: No, never alone, no, never alone Lyrics: 1 I’ve seen the lightning flashing,
I've heard the thunder roll,
I’ve felt sin’s breakers dashing,
Which almost conquered my soul;
I’ve heard the voice of my Savior
Bidding me still to fight on;
He promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone!
Refrain:
No, never alone, no, never alone;
He promised never to leave me,
He'll claim me for His own.
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
Temptations sharp and keen;
I have a peace in knowing
My Savior stands between;
He stands to shield me from danger
When earthly friends are gone;
He promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone! [Refrain]
3 When in affliction’s valley
I tread the road of care,
My Savior helps me carry
My cross so heavy to bear;
Though all around me is darkness,
Earthly joys all flown;
My Savior whispers His promise,
Never to leave me alone! [Refrain]
4 He died on Calvary's mountain,
For me they pierced His side,
For me He opened that fountain,
The crimson, cleansing tide;
For me He waiteth in glory,
Seated upon His throne;
He promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone! [Refrain] Topics: The Christian Life Faith and Assurance; God Refuge Languages: English Tune Title: NEVER ALONE
