Never Alone

Author: Eben E. Rexford Hymnal: Songs of Matchless Love #68 (1904) First Line: The way that leads us heav'nward Lyrics: 1 The way that leads us heav’nward Is often rough and steep; We struggle in the darkness, And sometimes pause to weep; Then come a thought to comfort The heart, discouraged grown, He who trod Calv’ry’s pathway Never will leave thee alone. Refrain: No, never alone, no never alone. He promised never to leave thee, Never to leave thee alone. 2 Then, thinking of the burden He bore up Calv’ry’s hill, We cease our weak complaining, Our lips, for shame, are still, And hearts that pain has tortured Forget to make their moan, Rememb’ring him who promised Never to leave us alone. [Refrain] 3 Oh, soul, hast thou forgotten The message wondrous sweet Of him who left behind him The print of bleeding feet? “I never will forsake thee! Dear child, when weary grown, Remember I have promised Never to leave thee alone.” [Refrain] 4 Take courage, way-worn pilgrim! Tho’ mists and shadows hide The face of Christ who loves thee, He’s ever at thy side. Reach out thy hand to find him, And lo! the mists have flown— He smiles, and whispers softly, “Never to leave thee alone.” [Refrain] Tune Title: [The way that leads us heavenward]
