I WILL NEVER, NEVER LEAVE THEE

I will never, never leave thee,
I will never thee forsake!
I will guard, and save, and keep thee,
For My Name and mercy's sake!
Fear no evil, fear no evil,
Only all My counsel take,
For I'll never, never leave thee,
I will never thee forsake.

When the storm is raging round thee,
Call on Me in humble prayer,
I will fold My arms about thee,
Guard thee with the tend'rest care;
In the trial, in the trial
I will make thy pathway clear.
For I'll never, never leave thee,
I will never thee forsake.

When the sky above is glowing,
And around thee all is bright,
Pleasure like a river flowing,
All things tending to delight,
I'll be with thee, I'll be with thee,
I will guide thy steps aright.
For I'll never, never leave thee,
I will never thee forsake.

When thy soul is dark and clouded,
Filled with doubt, and grief, and care,
Through the mist by which 'tis shrouded.
I will make a light appear.
And the banner, and the banner
Of My love I will uprear.
For I'll never, never leave thee,
I will never thee forsake.
