The New National Baptist Hymnal (21st Century Edition) ‎#260

260. Never Alone

1 I’ve seen the lightning flashing
And heard the thunder roll,
I’ve felt sin’s breakers dashing,
Which tried to conquer my soul;
I’ve heard the voice of my Savior,
He bid me still 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--
Temptation’s sharp and keen;
I have a peace in knowing
My Savior stands between;
He stands to shield me from danger
When all my friends are gone--
He promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone. [Refrain]

3 When in affliction’s valley
I tread the road of care,
My Savior helps me carry
The cross so heavy to bear;
Tho' all around me is darkness
And earthly joys are flown,
My Savior whispers His promise--
Never to leave me alone. [Refrain]

4 He died on Calv'ry's mountain,
For me they pierced His side,
For me He opened that fountain,
The crimson, cleansing tide;
For me He’s waiting in glory
Upon His heav'nly throne--
He promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone. [Refrain]
