Hymnal: Favorites Number 3 #19 (1951) First Line: I have been alone with Jesus, with my head upon his breast Refrain First Line: I’ve been alone with Jesus Lyrics: 1 I have been alone with Jesus, with my head upon his breast, For I was so very weary, that I waited there to rest. I have been alone with Jesus, and he bade me stay awhile, And I felt it very precious, in the sunshine of his smile. Refrain: I’ve been alone with Jesus, My blessed, blessed Jesus, I’ve been alone with Jesus, In the sunshine of his smile. 2 With a trembling heart I told him, while with joy I lingered there, All the burden of my sorrow and my heavy weight of care; How the voice of Satan’s whisp’rings often called me into sin, And I asked him if I might not stay forever there with Him. [Refrain] 3 Shall I tell you what he told me, while I still was waiting there? For it took away my trouble, and it took away my care. O he told me how he lov’d me, tho’ a wayward, erring child, And I felt so very happy, as he look’d on me and smil’d. [Refrain] 4 Then he told me I was welcome, evermore with him to stay, And he said that he would never cast his loving child away, “Lo!” he said, “I am thy Saviour, as a rock I firmly stand, Come and rest beneath my shadow, in this weary, thirsty land.” [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I have been alone with Jesus]
