216 NEVER ALONE

[V1]

Lonely? No, not lonely,
While Jesus standeth by;
His presence always cheers me;
I know that he is nigh,
Friend-less? No, not friend-less,
For Jesus is my Friend;
I change, but he remaineth,
The same unto the end.

[C]
No, never alone, -- no, never alone;
He has promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone
No, never alone, -- no, never alone;
He has promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone

[V2]
Weary? No, not weary,
While leaning on his breast;
My soul hath full enjoyment,
In His eternal rest;
Helpless? Yes, so helpless;
But I am leaning hard;
On the mighty arm of Jesus,
And he is keeping guard.

[C]
No, never alone, -- no, never alone;
He has promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone
No, never alone, -- no, never alone;
He has promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone

[V3]
Waiting? Yes, I’m waiting;
He bids me watch and wait,
I only wonder often,
What makes my Lord so late,
Joyful? Yes, so joyful,
With joy too deep for words;
A precious, sure foundation,
The joy that is my Lord’s.

[C]
No, never alone, -- no, never alone;
He has promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone
No, never alone, -- no, never alone;
He has promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone
