Author: Clyde R. Ebey Hymnal: Light and Life Songs #205 (1904) First Line: Tho' friends may all forsake thee Refrain First Line: No, never alone Lyrics: 1 Tho’ friends may all forsake thee, The world be voice of cheer, Christ’s smile thy heart will brighten, And drive away thy fear; He’ll fill thy soul with courage When earthly hopes are gone, He’ll be thy friend forever, And never will leave thee alone. Chorus: No, never alone, No, never alone; The Savior never will leave thee, He claims thee for His own; No, never alone, No, never alone; The Savior never will leave thee, He never will leave thee alone. 2 Discouraged in the conflict, Heart-sick with pain and loss, Crushed low beneath life’s burden, And groaning ‘neath the cross; With griefs that must be hidden While struggling bravely on; The Savior knows thy sorrow, And He will not leave thee alone. [Chorus] 3 That thou may’st dwell in glory, He suffered grief and shame; That thou may’st live forever, To bleed and die he came; He gave himself on Calv’ry For all thy sins t’atone; He’ll guide thee safe to heaven, And never will leave thee alone. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Tho' friends may all forsake thee]
