Never Alone

1 “Lo! I am with you alway,”
I hear the Savior say;
To save, and guide and keep me
Thro’ all my pilgrim way;
Be strong, my heart, and journey,
With ceaseless vigor, on,
And hearken to His promise,
I never will leave thee alone.”

Refrain:
No, never alone,
No, never alone,
He’s promised to be with me,
He never will leave me alone;
No, never alone,
No, never alone,
He’s promised to be with me,
He never will leave me alone;

2 When fiercely storms are raging,
On Him I call in pray’r,
He folds His arms around me
And guards with tend’rest care;
He lightens up my pathway
With flashes from His throne,
And speaks above the tempest,
I never will leave thee alone.” [Refrain]

3 When skies above are shining,
And ev’rything is bright;
When peace is “like a river,”
All tending to delight;
When in the “silent watches,”
When dearest friends are gone;
In shade and shine He whispers,
I never will leave thee alone.” [Refrain]

4 “Lo I am with you alway,”
I hear the Savior say,
And hearing, gladly travel
And trust Him day by day;
When in the heav’nly mansions
Prepared for all His own,
He’ll verify His promise,
I never will leave thee alone.” [Refrain]
