The New Church Hymnal ‎#337

337. Never Alone

1 I've seen the light'ning flashing,
And heard the thunder roll;
I've felt sin's breakers dashing
Trying to conquer my soul;
I've heard the voice of my Saviour,
Telling 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,
Never to leave me alone;
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 feel a peace in knowing
My Saviour 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'm treading the road of care;
My Saviour helps me to carry
My cross when heavy to bear;
My feet, entangled with briars
ready to cast me down,
My Saviour whispers His promise,
“I never will leave thee alone.” [Refrain]

4 He died for me on the mountain,
For me they pierced His side;
For me He opened the fountain,
The crimson, cleansing tide;
For me He's waiting in glory,
Seated upon His throne;
He promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone. [Refrain]
