Always With Me

Author: Sallie K. Best Hymnal: Inspiring Songs No. 1 #178 (1906) First Line: While I am drifting out on life's sea Refrain First Line: Christ will always be with me Lyrics: 1 While I am drifting out on life’s sea, Tossed by the billows, fearless I’ll be; On to the harbor safely I’ll ride; Jesus my Captain, rests by my side. Chorus: Christ will always be with me, On the land, or on the sea; Christ will always be with me, Always with me. 2 Though on the mountain rugged and steep, Or in the valley lonely and deep, Through storm and darkness I will not fear; Jesus my Savior, ever is near. [Chorus] 3 Out in the desert barren and wild, God will protect me, I am His child; Far from my dwelling when cometh night, Jesus is with me, He is my light. [Chorus] 4 Where e’er I wander, Jesus is there; All of my burdens Jesus will bear; Beauty and sunshine always I see, Jesus is ever walking with me. [Chorus] Topics: Friendship; Guidance; Protection; Refuge; Trust Languages: English Tune Title: [While I am drifting out on life's sea]
